Answer is x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the two equations equal
Answer:
<CEA = 117 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given picture,
<CED and <AEB are vertical angles
Vertical angles are always equal
[tex]14x+7=12x+17[/tex]
Now we solve for x
Subtract 12x from both sides
[tex]2x+7=+17[/tex]
Subtract 17 from both sides
[tex]2x=10[/tex]
divide both sides by 2
x=5
<CEA and <CED are linear pair
<CEA = 180 - <CED
[tex]<CEA=180-14x+7=180-14(5)+7=117[/tex]
