Answer:

x=8

Explanation:

Angle bisector means it cute the big angle into two equal, smaller angles (like cutting a piece of cake in half)

therefore, you can set both smaller angles equal to each other, then solve for x

4x+1=33 Subtract 1 from both sides

4x=32 Divide both sides by 4

x=8

You'll get it, keep studying! :)
