Question
This diagram depicts a geometric figure composed of triangles with four labeled points: \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), \( E \), and \( F \). The outer triangle is labeled \( \triangle ABC \), and within this triangle, lines \( BF \) and \( CE \) intersect at point \( x \).

The known angles in the diagram are as follows:
- \(\angle CBA = 60^\circ\)
- \(\angle ABE = 20^\circ\)
- \(\angle BCF = 50^\circ\)
- \(\angle BCA = 30^\circ\)

The angles of the lines forming the inner section of the triangle are not labeled except for angle \( \angle CEF = x \), which is the angle to be determined.

This diagram mainly focuses on evaluating the internal angles with respect to the known degrees and how these relate to solve for \( x \). The figure requires application of geometric principles to derive the value of \( x \) through angle relationships and possibly angle sum properties within triangles.
