Question

Given: Ray BD bisects angle ABC and measure angle ABC equals 25. Solve for x.

Answer 1

@dude

Answer 2

I have an idea on how to do this but I feel there is probably a much more easier way to do this

Okay, combine like terms

Answer 3

Ok

Answer 4

What did you get, when combining like terms? xD

Answer 5

X-2y=25

Answer 6

Right, so now isolate x

Do you know how to do that?

Answer 7

No

Answer 8

(Do the opposite of subtracting 2y)

Answer 9

X=25+2y

Answer 10

Okay so now we know what x is in terms of y

Answer 11

Lets go back into our original equation and for every x value, insert 25+2y instead
\((2\boxed{x}-y)+(3y-\boxed{x})=25\)

Answer 12

Ok....

Answer 13

\(2(25+2y)-y+3y-(25+2y)=25\)

Does that make sense?

Answer 14

Yes

Answer 15

Okay, now distribute the 2 in `2(25+2y)` and -1 in `−(25+2y)`
And then combine like terms

Answer 16

50+4y-25-2y?

Answer 17

Right so now you have

\(50+4y-y+3y-25-2y=25\)

Do you know how to simplify that?

Answer 18

4y=0?

Answer 19

Divide by 4 and you get y=0

Yes thats what I got, so now we substitute 0 into our original equation

Answer 20

Hmm I made a mistake, let me check my work

Answer 21

Im a derp ahh

Answer 22

Screw what I just said

Answer 23

All of it?

Answer 24

Yes, I over-read this

Answer 25

Ok...
