Please help! Will give the brainliest :)

Answer 1

Answer:

First figure out the angle measure of CBA and DBE to find out what Angle measure of ABE is.

Angle CBA and DBE are vertical angles, meaning they are congruent.

so set the equation as:

(2x+21)=(5x)

21=5x-2x

21=3x

x=7

It doesn't matter in which angle you plug 7 you get the same angle measure, so : 5x=5(7)=35 degrees

So to find angle measure of ABE:

We know that ABE and DBE form linear pair, so

180-35=145 degrees

145 degrees is the answer.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

∠ABE = 145°

Step-by-step explanation:

because angle CBA and ABE form a straight line, we know that they must add together to 180 degrees

and because DBE and ABE also form a straight line/angle, they must add together to 180 degrees

we can set this up as a system of equations (I will be writing ABE as "y")

2x + 21 + y = 180

5x + y = 180

We can combine this to beL

2x + 21 + y = 5x + y

 - 2x              -2x

21 + y = 3x + y

   - y       - y

21 = 3x

x = 7

If we plug this back into our original equations (which is set to 180 degrees), we can find y

2(7) + 21 + y = 180

14 + 21 + y = 180

35 + y = 180

- 35       - 35                  

y = 145

(remember, "y" is angle ABE)

we can check this value (ABE = 145) by substituting our second equation

5(x) + ABE = 180

35 + 145 = 180

       180 = 180

(TRUE)

so, the measure of ∠ ABE is 145°

hope this helps!!
