the attachment isn't working for me. And in fact even if it did :P
ohhhhh
u can use other figures
1. \(\Large \angle ACB = 180^\circ-(10^\circ+70^\circ)-(60^\circ+20^\circ) = 20^\circ\) \(\Large \angle AEB = 180^\circ-60^\circ-(50^\circ+30^\circ) = 40^\circ\) 2.Draw a line from point \(\Large E\) parallel to \(\Large AB\), labeling the intersection with \(\Large AC\) as a new point \(\Large F\) and conclude \(\Large ΔCEF∼ΔABC\), \(\Large \begin{align} \angle CEF &= \angle CBA = 50^\circ+30^\circ = 80^\circ\\ \angle FEB &= 180^\circ-80^\circ = 100^\circ\\ \angle AEF &= 100^\circ-40^\circ = 60^\circ\\ \angle CFE &= CAB = 60^\circ+20^\circ = 80^\circ\\ \angle EFA &= 180^\circ-80^\circ = 100^\circ \end{align}\) 3.Draw a line \(\Large FB\) labeling the intersection with \(\Large AE\) as a new point \(\Large G\) and conclude \(\Large ΔAFE≅ΔBEF\), \(\Large \begin{align} \angle AFB &=\angle BEA = 40^\circ\\ \angle BFE &= \angle AEF = 60^\circ\\ \angle FGE &= 180^\circ-60^\circ-60^\circ = 60^\circ = \angle AGB\\ \angle ABG &= 180^\circ-60^\circ-60^\circ = 60^\circ\\ \end{align}\) 4.Draw a line \(\Large DG\). Since \(\Large AD=AB\) (leg of isosceles) and \(\Large AG=AB\) (leg of equilateral), conclude \(\Large AD=AG\), \(\Large ΔDAG\) is isosceles and \(\Large \angle ADG =\angle AGD = \frac{180^\circ-20^\circ}2 = 80^\circ\). 5.Since \(\Large ∠DGF=180^∘−80^∘−60^∘=40^∘\), conclude ΔFDG (with two \(\Large 40^∘\) angles) is isosceles, so \(\Large DF=DG\). 6.With \(\Large EF=EG\) (legs of equilateral) and \(\Large DE=DE\) (same line segment) conclude \(\Large ΔDEF≅ΔDEG\) by side-side-side rule, \(\Large ∠DEF=∠DEG=x\), and \(\Large \angle FEG = 60^\circ = x+x\quad\Rightarrow\quad \large\color{blue}{x=30^\circ}.\)
great right answer
