Answer:

m<ABD = 37°

m<DBC = 58°

Explanation:

m<ABD + m<DBC = m<ABC

2x + 23 + 9x — 5 = 95

11x + 18 = 95

-18 -18

--------------------

11x = 77

/11 /11

---------------------

x = 7

Now, plug this into the equation for m<ABD and m<DBC to find their values.

m<ABD = 2x + 23

= 2(7) + 23

= 14 + 23

= 37

m<DBC = 9x — 5

= 9(7) — 5

= 63 – 5

= 58

Now, check to see if our values are right or not.

2x + 23 + 9x — 5 = 95

2(7) + 23 + 9(7) — 5 = 95

14 + 23 + 63 – 5 = 95

100 – 5 = 95

95 = 95 CORRECT
