Answer:

x = 20 , ∠ AEB = 91° , Y = 89

Explanation:

∠ AEB and ∠ CED are vertically opposite angles and are congruent (equal)

∠ AEB = ∠ CED ( substitute values )

5x - 9 = 3x + 31 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 9 = 31 ( add 9 to both sides )

2x = 40 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 20

----------------------------------

Then

∠ AEB = 5x - 9 = 5(20) - 9 = 100 - 9 = 91°

-------------------------------------

∠ AED and ∠ AEB are a linear pair and sum to 180°, that is

∠ AED + ∠ AEB = 180 ( substitute ∠ AEB = 9 and ∠ AED = y )

y + 91 = 180 ( subtract 91 from both sides )

y = 89
