Answer:

39°

Explanation:

The sum of AXE, AXC and CXF will be 180 because they together span a straight line (EF).

So: y + 90 + y - 12 = 180, which is an equation you can solve by simplifying it:

y + 90 + y - 12 = 180

2y + 78 = 180

y + 39 = 90

y = 90 - 39 = 51

So AXE = 51

AXC = 90

CXF = 51-12 = 39 (the answer)

Check: 51+90+39 = 180
