Question
- given: ∠abc is a right angle.
prove: x = 8
11x = 88
(6x + 5)° + (5x - 3)° = 90
∠abc = 90°
∠abc is a right angle
11x + 2 = 90
x = 8
∠abd + ∠cbd = ∠abc
Step1: Given
$\angle ABC$ is a right angle.
Step2: Definition of right angle
$\angle ABC = 90^{\circ}$
Step3: Angle Addition Postulate
$\angle ABD+\angle CBD=\angle ABC$
Step4: Substitution Property of Equality
$(6x + 5)^{\circ}+(5x - 3)^{\circ}=90^{\circ}$
Step5: Simplify
$6x+5 + 5x-3=90$
$11x+2 = 90$
Step6: Subtraction Property of Equality
$11x+2-2=90 - 2$
$11x=88$
Step7: Division Property of Equality
$\frac{11x}{11}=\frac{88}{11}$
$x = 8$
