Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached
From the diagram, the sum of angle of the straight line BCD is 180°. Hence;
<BCE+<ECF<90 = 180
<BCE+64+90=180
<BCE+154 = 180
<BCE = 180-154
<BCE = 26°
Next is to get x.
The sum of interior angles <BCE and <BEC is equal to exterior angle <ABE
<BCE + <BEC = <ABE
26+x = 3x
Collect like terms
26 =3x-x
26=2x
x = 26/2
x = 13
Hence the value of x is 13
