Answer:

x = 13

Explanation:

The angle bisector theorem means that m<ABE = m<EBC. Now that we know they are equal, we can set the equations to each other and solve for x.

2x + 20 = 4x - 6

26 = 2x

13 = x

So the value of x is 13.

Cheers.

Answer:

13=x

Explanation:

Since BE is a bisector

ABE = EBC

2x+20 = 4x-6

Subtract 2x from each side

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

20 = 2x-6

Add 6 from each side

20+6 = 2x-6+6

26 = 2x

Divide each side by 2

26/2 = 2x/2

13=x
