  1. Identify Relationship: Identify the relationship between the angles since BDBD bisects angle ABCABC, meaning angle ABDABD equals angle CBDCBD.
  2. Solve Equation: Solve the equation to find the value of xx.
  3. Substitute xx: Substitute x=9x = 9 back into either angle's expression to find the measure of angle ABDABD or CBDCBD.
  4. Find Angle Measures: Since BDBD bisects angle ABCABC, angle ABCABC is twice the measure of angle ABDABD.
