Answer:

CB = 5,
m\angle{BDA} = 23^\circ

Explanation:

Assuming that the marks next to angle D mean that
\angle{BDA} \cong \angle{BDC}, then there is enough information to conclude that the two right triangles are congruent (HA theorem--hypotenuse/angle).

Then all the corresponding parts of the two triangles are congruent, including segments BA and BC, making them the same length.

4x + 1 = 9x - 4

Solving for x,

1 = 5x - 4

5 = 5x

1 = x

Pluggint x = 1 into the two expressions reveals that the length of segment CB is 5.

The two small angles at D are congruent, so
m\angle{BDA}=23^\circ.
