Yes number 10 says find angle BCE I HAVE SOLVED WHAT WAS GIVEN BY YOUR EXPERT BUT HOW DO I FIND THE ANGLE 

**Text Transcription for Educational Website:**

---

**Problem 10: Find \( m\angle BCE \).**

Given:

- \( \angle AEB = (7x + 5)^\circ \)
- \( \angle DEC = (11x - 3)^\circ \)

Solution:

1. Set the angles equal: \( 11x - 3 = 7x + 5 \).
2. Rearrange the equation: \( 11x - 3 - 7x = 5 \).
3. Simplify: \( 4x - 3 = 5 \).
4. Add 3 to both sides: \( 4x = 8 \).
5. Divide by 4: \( x = 2 \).

---

**Problem 12: Find \( m\angle XZW \).**

Given:

- Quadrilateral \( WXYZ \) with diagonals \( \angle XZR = (x + 20)^\circ \) and \( \angle YRX = (5x - 8)^\circ \).

Solution:

1. Set up the equation: \( x + 20 + 5x - 8 = 90 \).
2. Simplify: \( 6x + 12 = 90 \).
3. Subtract 12 from both sides: \( 6x = 78 \).
4. Divide by 6: \( x = 13 \).
5. Substitute \( x \) into \( \angle XZW = (x + 20) \).
6. Calculate: \( x + 20 = 13 + 20 = 33^\circ \).

**Diagram Description:**

- For Problem 10, there is a parallelogram \( ABCD \) with diagonal \( AC \). The angles formed by the diagonals are labeled \( \angle AEB \) and \( \angle DEC \).
  
- For Problem 12, there is quadrilateral \( WXYZ \) with diagonals forming \( \angle XZW \). The given expressions represent the angles formed by these diagonals.
