First find m<HGC.

m<HGC=14 degrees (through vertical angles)

So...

m<HGE=14+78=92 degrees (through adjacent angles)

Now we have two parallel line cut by a transversal. And so... <HGE and <CEG are same side interior angles which means they are supplements (sum to 180 degrees)

m<HGE+m<CEG=180

92+m<CEG=180

m<CEG=88 degrees

<CEG and <CEB make a linear pair and are thus are supplements as well.

So...

m<CEG+m<CEB=180

88+m<CEB=180

m<CEB=92 degrees

m<CEB=4x=92

x=92/4=23 degrees

answer: 23 degrees
