Find m∠CBD,

angle CBD=125

Step-by-step explanation:

(8x-41)+(9x+17)=180

17x -24 = 180

17x=204

x=12

9(12)+17=125

125

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles from a straight line so they add to 180

ABC + CBD = 180

8x -41+ 9x+17 = 180

Combine like terms

17x -24 = 180

Add 24 to each side

17x -24+24 = 180 +24

17x = 204

Divide by 17

17x/17 = 204/17

x =12

We want angle CBD

CBD = 9x+17

        = 9*12+17

       =108+17

        = 125

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
