SOLUTION: im in 10th grade and im not good at math but i got put in a high grade math class and i did the proof for:
Given:m< ABC=3X-5 and m< CBD=X=1/2 and prove: x=27
and i got x=47.5

The only way I can make this work out is if you meant:
and
and that ABC is complementary to CBD.
Under those presumptions:
Solving for yields . I tried several common errors and was unable to reproduce your wrong answer; hence I have no idea what you did wrong. Repost and show ALL of your work.
I do have some advice for you though. One of the secrets to success in mathematics is attention to detail; a characteristic sadly lacking in your post. In the first place you have very little punctuation, inappropriate capitalization, incorrect operation sign in your second algebraic expression, failure to use parentheses -- you get the point. If you are laboring under the gross misapprehention that "this is math, I don't have to care about correct and understandable English" then allow me do disabuse you of any such notion. Mathematics requires MORE, not less, precision of expression.
