Answer:

∠ ADE = 59°

Explanation:

The angles in a rectangle are right angles, then

∠ ABC = 90° , that is

4x + 15 + 13x + 7 = 90

17x + 22 = 90 ( subtract 22 from both sides )

17x = 68 ( divide both sides by 17 )

x = 4

Then

∠ CBE = 13x + 7 = 13(4) + 7 = 52 +7 = 59°

Since the sides in a rectangle are parallel then

∠ ADE = ∠ CBE ( alternate angles )

∠ ADE = 59°
