Answer:

Explanation:

AB // DE , and AE is transversal

∠CAE = ∠DEA {Alternate interior angles}

∠CAE = 2x

∠AEB = 180 - ∠FEC

= 180 - 4x

∠CAE + ∠AEB = 6x {Exterior angle property of triangle}

2x + 180 - 4x = 6x

180 - 2x = 6x

Add 2x to both sides

180 = 6x +2x

180 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8

180/8 = x

x = 22.5

∠AED = 2x = 22.5 *2 = 45

∠FEC = 4x = 4*22.5 = 90

∠EBC = 6x = 6*22.5 = 135
