Find the measure of the angle? BD bisects

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ABD is half of ABC so ABD = (1/2)*ABC 3x+25 = (1/2)*(7x) 2*(3x+25) = 7x 6x + 50 = 7x Keep going to solve for x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Tell me what you get

OpenStudy (icalibear):

13x + 50

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no solve for x to get x = ???

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

6x + 50 = 7x 6x + 50 - 6x = 7x-6x 50 = 7x - 6x

OpenStudy (icalibear):

so 50 = 1x isn't that just 50

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, x = 50 now use this to find DBC

OpenStudy (icalibear):

so the answer is 50 because both sides are the same they both equal 50

OpenStudy (icalibear):

wait nevermind

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, that's the value of x you use that value of x to find ABD then you can say DBC = ABD

OpenStudy (icalibear):

its 175

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

OpenStudy (icalibear):

ok thx

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the measure of angle DBC is 175
