(1) The value of x is 25

(2) The measure of ∠CBD is 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) The given two angles are vertical angles. Since, vertical angles are equal, we can add the two angles to determine the value of x.

Thus, we have,


5x+15=6x-10

Subtracting 5x from both sides, we have


15=x-10

Adding 10 to both sides , we have,


25=x

Thus, the value of x is 25.

(2) It is given that the measure of ∠ABC = (x+7)° and ∠CBD = (2x+14)°

Since, these two angles are supplementary angles and supplementary angles add upto 90°

Thus, we have,


2x+14+x+7=90

Simplifying, we get,


3x+21=90


3x=69


x=23

Thus, substituting the value of x in ∠CBD = (2x+14)° to determine its value.


2x+14=2(23)+14=46+14=60

Thus, the measure of ∠CBD is 60°
