Answer: yes, the value of x is 4 and angle HEB is 36 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

1a. Find the value of angle CEB

Given that line segment AB and line segment EC are perpendicular you know they are right angles and therefore are equal to 90 degrees

2a.set up an equation

After noticing that angle CEB is 90 degrees you know that angle HEB+CEH=90 degrees: 13x+9x+2

3a. Solve the equation

13x+9x+2=90

22x+2=90 | combine like terms

22x=88 | subtract 2 from both sides

x=4 | divide by 22 on both sides

1b. Set up equation

Knowing x=4 and that angle HEB is 9x the equation is 9(4)

2b. Solve the equation

9(4)

36
