∠BAD is bisected. If m∠BAC = 2x - 5 and m∠CAD = 145, the value of x is:

A. 150
B. 145
C. 75
D. 70

Answer :

Answer:

x=75

Step-by-step explanation:

∠BAD is bisected by AC and measurement of BAC is equal to 2x - 5 and measurement of CAD is equal to 145. Since they are bisected, they are equal and the solution is shown below:

m ∠ BAC = m ∠ CAD

2x - 5 = 145 , transpose -5 to the opposite side such as:

2x = 145 + 5 , perform addition of 145 and 5

2x = 150

2x / 2 = 150 / 2 , divide both sides by 2

x = 75


The answer is 75 for the x value.


We are asked to find the value of x given that ∠BAD is bisected by AC and measurement of BAC is equal to 2x - 5 and measurement of CAD is equal to 145. Since they are bisected, they are equal and the solution is shown below:
m ∠ BAC = m ∠ CAD
2x - 5 = 145 , transpose -5 to the opposite side such as:
2x = 145 + 5 , perform addition of 145 and 5
2x = 150
2x / 2 = 150 / 2 , divide both sides by 2
x = 75

The answer is 75 for the x value.
