// Angles in the same segment are equal.
2x² - 2 = 10x - 2

-----------------------------------------
Solve x :
-----------------------------------------
2x² - 2 = 10x - 2
2x² - 10x = 0
2x(x - 5) = 0
2x = 0 or x - 5 = 0
x = 0 or x = 5

-----------------------------------------
Find ∠CED :
-----------------------------------------
When x = 0
2(o)² - 2 = -2 (rejected, angle cannot be negative)

When x = 5
2(5)² - 2 = 48°

-----------------------------------------
Answer : ∠CED = 48°
