Explanation:

The question implies the two angles are equal because of the positioning of the named vertices. m∠A = m∠E so to say.

You can substitute the values and solve the inequality to find x, then solve for m∠A.

m∠A = m∠E; Given (Inferred)

6x - 8 = 4x + 1; Substitution

6x = 4x + 9; Addition Property of Equality

2x = 9; Subtraction Property of Equality

x = 4.5; Division Property of Equality

m∠A = 6x - 8; Given

m∠A = 6(4.5) - 8; Substitution

m∠A = 19; Solve

Hope this helps!!
