Answer 1

2(3s-14)

Explanation:

Given the angles ∠ABF=8s-6, ∠ABE = 2(s + 11), we are to find the angle ∠EBF. The following expression is true for the three angles;

∠ABF = ∠ABE + ∠EBF

Substituting the given angles into the equation to get the unknown;

8s-6 = 2(s + 11)+ ∠EBF

open the parenthesis

8s-6 = 2s + 22+ ∠EBF

∠EBF = 8s-6-2s-22

collect the like terms

∠EBF = 8s-2s-22-6

∠EBF = 6s-28

factor out the common multiple

∠EBF = 2(3s-14)

Hence the measure of angle ∠EBF is 2(3s-14)
