MathRevolution I think we do need another constraint to prove BE bisects angle B.
Proving all triangles congruent is a long process, and do require a lot of time if one go by logic. Can you check that. Regards

Angle DEC = 60
Angle DEA = 120 (180-DEC = supplementary angle)
Also CEF = 60+Y = Angle EBC + Angle ECB
60+Y = 60+EBC
EBC = Y
Hence we can say,
ED is parallel to BC (alternate angles)
Extend ED till it cut AB at H
Such that angle HEA = angle CED = 60° (opposite angle)
Now. AHE is an equilateral triangle too.
AE = ED
In triangle AED
Angle AED + EAD + EDA = 180
120 + 2EAD = 180
2EAD = 60
EAD = 30°
Draw an altitude EG such that it meet AD at G and
Extend EG such that it meet BC at I.
Now HBEI is a parallelogram, whose opposite angles are equal.
Also parallelogram diagonals bisect angle hence Angle HBE = angle IBE = 30° = Angle DEF = FEG.
In triangle FGE, angle EGF = 90° , angle GEF = 30° and
Remaining angle X = angle EFG = 180-90-30 = 60° .
