SOLUTION: The question involves supplementary angles < ABE = 5x (after the x is a degree sign) < BDE = (17x-18) (after the this problem is another degree sign What is the solution

Question 98111This question is from textbook Holt Geometry Texas
: The question involves supplementary angles
< ABE = 5x (after the x is a degree sign)
< BDE = (17x-18) (after the this problem is another degree sign

What is the solution to the problem? I have no clue on this one.
Thank you. This question is from textbook Holt Geometry Texas

SUPPLEMENTARY ANGLES ADD UP TO 180 DEGREES. THEREFORE THESE TWO ANGLES MUST ADD UP TO 180 DEGREES THUS
5X+17X-18=180
22X=180+18
22X=198
X=198/22
X=9
5*9=45 FOR THE SMALLER ANGLE.
17*9-18=153-18=135 FOR THE LARGER ANGLE.
PROOF
45+135=180
180=180
