Answer:

Explanation:

Bisects means that ∠RED will be divided in two parts by segment EB. This means that ∠REB = ∠BED. So,

5x-3 + 5x-3 = 8x+16

10x-6 = 8x+16

2x = 22

x = 11

Keep in mind that 11 is NOT the angle of ∠BED. You will plug it back into ∠REB to get

5(11)-3 = 52

Therefore, ∠BED = 52°
