Question

N the figure below, m∠AED=88∘, m∠AEC=61∘, and m∠BEC=24∘. If m∠BED=x∘, then what is x?

Please and thank you!!

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

now, if we just add that shaded part of (x-24)° to the 61°, we'll end up with the whole AED angle or 88°.

`(x-24)~~ + ~~61~~ = ~~88\implies x+37=88\implies x=51`
