The first angle given is not needed. it is extra info.
so to start off you need to see that it is a subtraction problem. it is angle BEF minus angle GEF
90 degrees minus 39 degrees then it is all math.
angle BEG = 51 degrees

-5/4-(-1/6) help please

tiny-mole [99]

A way to add fractions that always works is to multiply each numerator by the denominator of the other, then express the sum of products over the product of the denominators.
$\dfrac{a}{b}+\dfrac{c}{d}=\dfrac{a}{b}\cdot\dfrac{d}{d}+\dfrac{c}{d}\cdot\dfrac{b}{b}\\\\=\dfrac{ad+bc}{bd}$

Here, you have
$\dfrac{-5}{4}-\dfrac{-1}{6}=\dfrac{-5\cdot6-(-1)\cdot4}{4\cdot6}=\dfrac{-26}{24}\\\\=\dfrac{-13}{12}=-1\frac{1}{12}$

The sum is -1 1/12
