Explanation:
In isosceles Triangle ADE, AD = DE and ∠D is 30º
∠DEA = ∠A = z
∠A + ∠DEA + ∠D = 180
z+z+30 = 180
2z = 150
z = 75º
In isosceles Triangle BCE, EC = CB , ∠C is 20º
∠BEC = ∠C = y
∠C + ∠BEC + ∠B = 180
y+y+20 = 180
2y = 160
y = 80º
x+y+z = 180
x = 25º
IMO-C

In isosceles Triangle ADE, AD = DE angle D is 30
a+a+30 = 180 (Say equal angles are a each)
2a = 150
a = 75
In isosceles Triangle BCE, EC = CB , angle C is 20
b+b+20 = 180 (Say equal angles are b each)
2b = 160
b = 80
x+a+b = 180
x = 25º
IMO (C) is the right answer
