The diagram can't be viewed because you didn't send it. Anyway, it's pretty clear the way you described it. Since BD bisects angle ABC, then angle ABD = angle DBC.

x + 34 = 2x - 66 ------ Multiplying the eq by LCD, 2

x - 2x = - 66 - 34

- x = - 100

x = , or 100�

Each angle = x - 33, or 100 - 33, or , so both angles, or angle ABC = 2(67), or
