Question

Consider the picture below. Find the measure of ∠CEA
Please Help!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer is x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the two equations equal

Answer 2

<CEA = 117 degrees

Explanation:

From the given picture,

<CED and <AEB are vertical angles

Vertical angles are always equal

`14x+7=12x+17`

Now we solve for x

Subtract 12x from both sides

`2x+7=+17`

Subtract 17 from both sides

`2x=10`

divide both sides by 2

x=5

<CEA and <CED are linear pair

<CEA = 180 - <CED

`<CEA=180-14x+7=180-14(5)+7=117`
