To solve this problem, let’s analyze the information provided in the image and equations for each angle. The given angles and their expressions are:

1. $m\angle CAM = (2x - 10)^\circ$
2. $m\angle BFM = (3x - 35)^\circ$
3. $m\angle FMJ = (2.5x - 17.5)^\circ$
4. $m\angle FAE = (x + 5)^\circ$
5. $m\angle FMB = x^\circ$

Steps to Find the Unknowns

1. Find $m\angle FBE$:

• Since $\overline{AE} \parallel \overline{DJ}$ and $\overline{CH} \parallel \overline{BM}$, the given quadrilateral is a trapezoid.
• $m\angle CAM$ and $m\angle BFM$ form alternate interior angles with line segment $\overline{AF}$ acting as a transversal.
• Therefore, $m\angle CAM = m\angle BFM$.

Set up the equation: $2x - 10 = 3x - 35$ Solving for $x$: $35 - 10 = x$ $x = 25$

2. Substitute $x = 25$ to find the angle measures:

• $m\angle CAM = 2(25) - 10 = 50 - 10 = 40^\circ$
• $m\angle BFM = 3(25) - 35 = 75 - 35 = 40^\circ$

Since these angles are equal, we have consistency.

3. Find $m\angle FBE$:

Since $\overline{BF} \parallel \overline{CE}$ and $\overline{AF}$ is a transversal:

• $m\angle FBE = m\angle CAM = 40^\circ$

4. Find $m\angle AEB$:

$\overline{AF} \parallel \overline{DJ}$, making $\angle AEB$ equal to $\angle FAE$: $m\angle FAE = (x + 5) = 25 + 5 = 30^\circ$

5. Find $m\angle JHD$:

With parallel lines, we use $m\angle FMJ$ and the calculation for $x$: $m\angle FMJ = 2.5(25) - 17.5 = 62.5 - 17.5 = 45^\circ$ As the angles $\angle JHD$ will be equal by symmetry (alternate interior angle).

6. Find $m\angle C$:

$\overline{CH} \parallel \overline{BM}$, thus $m\angle C = m\angle FMB$: $m\angle FMB = x = 25^\circ$

Final Angle Measures

1. $m\angle FBE = 40^\circ$
2. $m\angle AEB = 30^\circ$
3. $m\angle JHD = 45^\circ$
4. $m\angle C = 25^\circ$
