Linear Pair Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear Pair Theorem says that if two angles forjm linear pair then they are supplementary.

Given :  ∠ABC and ∠CBD are a linear pair.

Since linear pair is supplementary.  

And supplementary angles area dded up to 180 degrees.

Then, ∠ABC +∠CBD = 180°  (1)

Also, if m∠ABC = m∠CBD = (2x − 8)°   [given]       (2)

Then, from (1) and (2), we have

Divide both the sides by 4 , we get

Hence, the correct answer is Option (B) "Linear Pair Theorem"
