First solve for the other angles.
You know one angle is 15º.
The one across from it is also 15º since it is a vertical angle to the known 15º angle.
Both of those together gets 30º.
The whole thing is 360º, so just subtract 30 from 360 and divide.
360 - 30 = 330
Do the same for the 15x angle.
The one under/across to it is a vertical angle so is also 15xº.
Now you are left with 30xº = 330.
Just divide now.
330 / 30 = 11
x = 11
15x = 165

Checking your work:
15x = 165
15x = 165
15
15
Those are the angles.
Add those numbers together and make sure it adds up to 360º.
165 + 165 + 15 + 15 = 360
So this is correct.

Answers:

CB = 14

GF = 8

FB = 9

EF is parallel to CB

====================================

Explanations:

Points E and F are midpoints of their respective sides. They form the midsegment EF. Because EF is a midsegment, A midsegment is half the length of its parallel counterpart, so CB is two times longer than EF. If EF is 7 units long, then CB = 2*EF = 2*7 = 14

For similar reasons, GF is parallel to AC. If AC = 16, then half of that is GF = (1/2)*AC = 0.5*16 = 8.

FB = FA = 9 as these segments have the same single tickmark to indicate they are the same length

EF is parallel to CB because EF is a midsegment, and this is one of the properties of being a midsegment. We can show that quadrilateral EGBF is a parallelogram to help prove this.

Claim: The measures of $\angle B$ and $\angle B'$ are equal

Answer: True

Explanation: Dilations preserve the shape of an image, so this means the angles are kept the same whether you shrink or enlarge the preimage.

====================================================

Claim: The coordinates of A and A' are the same

Answer: True

Explanation: The phrasing "dilating about point A" means that point A is the center of the universe, so to speak, in terms of this dilation operation. Point A is the fixed point that does not move while every other point does move. Because the scale factor is 2/3, which is less than 1, this means every other point comes closer to point A. So something like segment AB will get shorter.
