Answer:

the value of x is 16

Explanation:

we know that the measure of angle ABC is 159deg.

we are told the angle ABF is (7x+20)deg

and that angle FBC is (2x-5) deg

the angle ABC is the same as adding angle ABF and FBC together

To find the value of x, add the two: (7x+20)+(2x-5)=159deg

When solving you will get 9x+15=159

subtract 15 from both sides and you will have 9x=144

divide both sides by 9 and you will be left with x=16
