*5

Triangle ABC with D on AB, E on BC and G on AC; DEF is parallel to AGC and GE is parallel to ADB; angle DBE = 95 degrees, angle CGE = 55 degrees and angle x at E between EF and EC

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

\(AGC\) and \(DEF\) are parallel lines.
\(ADB\) and \(GE\) are parallel lines.
\(BEC\) is a straight line.

Angle \(DBE = 95^\circ\)
Angle \(CGE = 55^\circ\)

Work out the size of the angle marked \(x\).
Give reasons for each stage of your working. (4)
