Question

It wont let me post a picture of the angles but they are verticle angles and the equations are (3x+8), (5x-40) and it says find m ABC.

The choices are 24, 56, 80, 90

Answer 1

Vertical angles are equal

5x - 40 = 3x + 8
5x - 3x = 8 + 40
2x = 48
x = 48/2
x = 24

m∠ABC = 3x + 8 = 3 * 24 + 8 = 80°

(or m∠ABC = 5x - 40 = 5 * 24 - 40 = 80°)

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is 24 i hope this helps ...
