Question

I don’t understand this PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

The answer to your question is x = 13

Explanation:

Due to BE is an angle bisector, we can conclude that the ∠ABE = ∠EBC

Then, we equal both angles and solve for x.

2x + 20 = 4x - 6

Subtract 20 in both sides

2x +20 - 20 = 4x - 6 - 20

Simplify

2x = 4x - 26

Substract 4x in both sides

2x - 4x = 4x - 4x -26

Simplify

-2x = -26

Divide both sides by -2

-2x / -2 = -26/-2

Simplify

x = 13

Answer 2

13

Explanation:

If BE is the bisector then m<ABE must be equal to m<EBC

So we make the equation like this :

2x + 20 = 4x - 6

➡

20+6 = 4x-2x

➡

26=2x

➡

x = 13
