Answer:

∠CAT = 140°

Explanation:

Since AB bisects ∠CAT then ∠BAT = ∠CAB, hence

5x + 20 = 2x + 50 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

3x + 20 = 50 ( subtract 20 from both sides )

3x = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 10

∠CAT = ∠BAT + ∠CAB = 5x + 20 + 2x + 50 = 7x + 70

substitute x = 10 into the expression

∠CAT = (7 × 10) + 70 = 70 + 70 = 140°
