Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:

Since the ray AE is an angle bisector, it means that it cuts the angle 50 / 50, or perfectly in half.

This means that angle BAE and angle EAC are actually congruent

∠BAE = ∠EAC


x + 30 = 3x - 10

Get rid of x on one side. Since you are solving for x, use the more simple x

This becomes this ⇅


30 = 2x + 10

Subtract 10 from both sides

20 = 2x

20 divided by two

2x divided by two

x = 10
