Its not clearly given that whether EBF = 2x + 9 or 2x - 9.
I have written the solution for both.
If EBF = 2x + 9,
then ABF = 6x + 26 and ABE = 11x - 31.
Now, ABE = ABF + EBF
11x - 31 = (6x + 26) + (2x + 9)
= (6x + 2x) + (26 + 9)
= 8x + 35
11x - 8x = 35 + 31
3x = 66
x = 22
Therefore, ABF = 6x + 26 = 6(22) + 26 = 132 + 26 = 158°
If EBF = 2x - 9,
then ABF = 6x + 26 and ABE = 11x - 31.
Now, ABE = ABF + EBF
11x - 31 = (6x + 26) + (2x - 9)
= (6x + 2x) + (26 - 9)
= 8x + 17
11x - 8x = 17 + 31
3x = 48
x = 16
Therefore, ABF = 6x + 26 = 6(16) + 26 = 96 + 26 = 122°
