Answer:

x = 9

m<AOB = 29°

m<BOC = 57°

m<COD = 29°

Explanation:

Given:

m<AOB = (4x - 7)°

m<BOC = (5x + 12)°

m<COD = (2x + 11)°

The diagram shows <AOB is congruent to <COD.

Set both angles equal to each other to find x.

m<AOB = m<COD

4x - 7 = 2x + 11

Collect like terms

4x - 2x = 7 + 11

2x = 18

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 18/2

x = 9

Find the measure of each angle by plugging in the value of x into each expression for each angle:

m<AOB = (4x - 7)° = 4(9) - 7 = 36 - 7 = 29°

m<BOC = (5x + 12)° = 5(9) + 12 = 45 + 12 = 57°

m<COD = (2x + 11)° = 2(9) + 11 = 18 + 11 = 29°
