@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

these are vertical angles so as usual, solve for x, plug it back into m<ABC

eviant:

would it be 90 degrees or 180 degrees? @Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

please review the definitions of vertical angles, right angles, and straight angles

eviant:

@Vocaloid so 180?

Vocaloid:

look at your picture to see which diagram best represents your situation

Vocaloid:

notice, how, in your original problem, you have an X-shape with two angles across from each other now take a look at the three diagrams I posted. which one looks most like that?

eviant:

the first one?

Vocaloid:

good. use the diagram as a guide to solve the problem.

Vocaloid:

notice what the diagram tells you. the two angles across from each other on the x-shape are equal. try to apply this logic to your problem.

eviant:

180/2=90?

Vocaloid:

Vocaloid:

|dw:1548834242246:dw|

Vocaloid:

notice how A = B apply this logic to the shape on the left

eviant:

6x-7=4x+23?

Vocaloid:

perfect now solve for x, and find m<BAC

Vocaloid:

*m<ABC

eviant:

15?

Vocaloid:

almost that's the value of x take a look at the diagram to find out what m<ABC should be

eviant:

@Vocaloid I don't understand

Vocaloid:

look at your problem what is the value of m<ABC?

Vocaloid:

what is the angle formed by the points A, B, and C?

eviant:

obtuse?

Vocaloid:

|dw:1548834838506:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1548834859468:dw|

Vocaloid:

notice how I found the points A, B, and C, and see how the angle I circled is m<ABC? so now, using your x-value, find m<ABC

eviant:

what is m?

Vocaloid:

m means you are looking for the measure of an angle

Vocaloid:

m<ABC = "what is the degree measure of ABC?"

Vocaloid:

if you are still confused, please refer to the problems we did before, you were doing it fine before

eviant:

@Vocaloid in the earlier problems, I was doing it like" (6x-7)+(4x+23)=90(or 180)

Vocaloid:

it's exactly like this one

eviant:

@Vocaloid 83?

Vocaloid:

good
