Answer: 71/7

Explanation:

No picture is provided so I am assuming that BD is an angle bisector.

1. ∠ABD=10x-7, ∠DBC=3x+5 Given

2. ∠ABD = ∠DBC Definition of angle bisector

3. 10x-7 = 3x+5 Substitution

4. 7x - 7 = 5 Subtraction Property of Equality

5. 7x = 12 Addition Property of Equality

6. x = 12/7 Division Property of Equality

7. ∠ABD = 10(12/7) - 7 Substitution

8. ∠ABD = 71/7 Adding like terms
