Answer:

x = 25

Explanation:

To solve this, you would have to set up an expression using the information they gave you.

We know that the total measure of the angle is 5x - 8, so everything else within the angle should add up to 5x - 8:

3x + 22 + 20 = 5x - 8

the expression 3x + 22 represents angle GED and the 20 is the measure of angle FEG

Now to solve

3x + 22 + 20 = 5x - 8

3x + 42 = 5x - 8

42 = 2x - 8

50 = 2x

25 = x
