Answer:

x = 25°

Explanation:

From the picture attached,

Since AE║BC and AC is a transverse,

Therefore, ∠EAC ≅ ∠BCA [Alternate interior angles]

m∠EAC = m∠BCA = x°

∠BCD = ∠DCB + ∠DBC [Since ∠BCD is an exterior angle of ΔBDC]

m∠BCD = m∠DCB + m∠DBC

50° = x° + x°

2x = 50

x = 25°

Therefore, value of x is 25°.
