We take the 1st condition: a. The measure of angle CBD is 10 less than twice the measure of angle ABD.
\n" ); document.write( "\"CBD=2ABD-10\" -----------------------> eqn 1
\n" ); document.write( "Since \"D\" is in the interior of angle \"ABC\", there forms an angle \"ABD\" right? Therefore, angle \"CBD=ABC-ABD\", see the correlation there?
\n" ); document.write( "It's better you draw it to follow the interpretation better.
\n" ); document.write( "Since \"ABC=80deg\", then \"CBD=80-ABD\" ---------------------> eqn 2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Equating the 2 eqns:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2ABD-10=80-ABD\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2ABD%2BABD=80%2B10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"cross%283%29ABD%2Fcross%283%29=cross%2890%2930%2Fcross%283%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"ABD=30deg\"
\n" ); document.write( "Go back eqn 2:
\n" ); document.write( "\"CBD=80-30\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"CBD=50deg\" -----------------> FINAL ANSWER
\n" ); document.write( "IN doubt? go back eqn 1:
\n" ); document.write( "\"50=2%2830%29-10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"50=60-10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"50=50\" cool,
