Answer:

x = 46°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Δ ABC is equilateral then interior angles = 60°

Since CE = DE then Δ CDE is isosceles and the base angles are congruent, so

∠ ECD = [tex]\frac{180-32}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{148}{2}[/tex] = 74°

BCD is a straight line, then the 3 angles on it sum to 180°, that is

60° + 74° + x = 180°

134° + x = 180° ( subtract 134° from both sides )

x = 46°
