Answer:

m<BUL=132

Explanation:

Since US bisects <BUL, we know that <BUS ≅ <SUL

This is based on the angle bisector definition.

Hence, we can set up an equation to solve for x.

<BUS≅<SUL

2x+10=3x-18

Subtract 10 from both sides

2x+10-10=3x-18-10

2x=3x-28

Subtract 3x from both sides

2x-3x=3x-3x-28

-x=-28

Divide both sides by -1

x=28

m<BUL is the sum of m<BUS and m<SUL

m<BUL=m<BUS+m<SUL

m<BUS=2x+10

m<SUL=3x-18

Plug it in

m<BUL=2x+10+3x-18

Combine like terms

m<BUL=5x-8

Plug in 28 for x

m<BUL=5(28)-8

m<BUL=140-8

m<BUL=132

Answer:

132

Explanation:

If US bisects the angle then

BUS = SUL

2x+10 = 3x-18

Subtract 2x from each side

2x+10 -2x = 3x-18-2x

10 = x-18

Add 18 to each side

10+18 =x

28 =x

We want to find BUL

BUL = BUS + SUL

2x+10 + 3x-18

5x-8

5*28 -8

140-8

132
