if mBGC = 16x - 4 and mCGD = 2x + 13, find the value of x so that BGD is a right angle

Hi there! :)
Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{x = 4.5}[/tex]
m∠BGC = 16x - 4
m∠CGD = 2x + 13
m∠BGC + m∠CGD sums up to 90°, therefore:
(16x - 4) + (2x + 13) = 90
Combine like terms and simplify:
16x + 2x - 4 + 13 = 90
18x - 4 + 13 = 90
18x + 9 = 90
18x = 81
18x/18 = 81/8
x = 4.5
