Answer:

x = 20

Explanation:

We know that a straight line is 180 degrees. We also know that the line A and B is a supplementary angle.

We subtract 180 - 110 which will come out to 70 which is the value of angle B

We know that angles D and E are 90 degrees and since D and C is 180 degrees, that means C and E is equal to 90 degrees as well.

Since B is equal to 70 degrees, we subtract 90 - 70 to get 20 degrees which is the value of x
