Answer: GEF = 30 DEF = 40

Step-by-step explanation: By angle summation we know the entire angle

GED = 70, so the smaller angles that make up GED (GEF and DEF) will have to sum up to equal GED. Using this we get:

2x + 10 + 5x - 10 = 70

From here we can combine like terms:

7x = 70

and solve for x

x = 10

Then we can plug the value of x back into the equations given to solve for GEF and DEF

GEF:

2x+10 == 2(10)+10 = 30

DEF:

5x-10 == 5(10)-10 = 40
