Sagot :

Given:

Lines DE and AB intersect at point C.

[tex]m\angle ACE=(2x+2)^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle ECB=(5x+3)^\circ[/tex]

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

In the given figure it is clear that the angles [tex]\angle ACE[/tex] and [tex]\angle ECB[/tex] are lie on a straight line AB.

[tex]m\angle ACE+m\angle ECB=[/tex]               [Linear pair]

[tex](2x+2)^\circ+(5x+3)^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex](7x+5)^\circ=180^\circ[/tex]

[tex]7x+5=180[/tex]

Subtract 5 from both sides.

[tex]7x=180-5[/tex]

[tex]7x=175[/tex]

Divide both sides by 7.

[tex]x=\dfrac{175}{7}[/tex]

[tex]x=25[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is B.
