The problem in the image asks: 

"Which value of \( x \) will make \( \overleftrightarrow{AB} \) perpendicular to \( \overleftrightarrow{CD} \)?"

Given angles around point \( E \):
- \( \angle AEF = (5x - 7)^\circ \)
- \( \angle FED = (7x - 11)^\circ \)
- \( \angle CEB = (2y + 5)^\circ \)
- \( \angle GEA = (5y - 6)^\circ \)

For two lines to be perpendicular, the sum of the angles between them must be \( 90^\circ \).

### Step 1: Identify the relevant angles.
- For \( AB \perp CD \), the angles between these two lines are \( \angle AEF \) and \( \angle FED \). So:
\[
(5x - 7) + (7x - 11) = 90^\circ
\]

### Step 2: Solve for \( x \).
\[
5x - 7 + 7x - 11 = 90
\]
\[
12x - 18 = 90
\]
\[
12x = 108
\]
\[
x = 9
\]

### Conclusion:
The value of \( x \) that makes \( \overleftrightarrow{AB} \) perpendicular to \( \overleftrightarrow{CD} \) is \( \boxed{9} \).

Would you like further details or have any questions?

Here are 5 relative questions to explore:
1. What if \( \overleftrightarrow{AB} \) had to be parallel to \( \overleftrightarrow{CD} \)? How would the equation change?
2. How do supplementary angles affect angle relationships in such diagrams?
3. Can you use the same approach if you were asked about angle bisectors?
4. How would the solution differ if the question involved complementary angles instead of perpendicularity?
5. What would change if additional constraints on \( y \) were given in this problem?

**Tip**: When working with geometry problems, always sketch a diagram and label all known quantities to organize your work efficiently.
