Answer: x = 13, Angle ABE = 51°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since angle ABC is 90° and angle EBC is 39°, subtract them.
90° - 39° = 51°
This means that angle ABE equals 51°. Plug in 51° as the y in the equation y = 3(x+4).
51 = 3 (x + 4)
Multiply 3 by x and 4.
51 = 3x + 12
Subtract both sides by 12.
39 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3.
x = 13
