Since EE is the midpoint of BD and FF is the midpoint of CD, we can use the midpoint formula to find the values of x:
Angle DCE = Angle BCF (because EE is the midpoint of BD and FF is the midpoint of CD, and opposite angles are congruent)
87 + 3x = -8x + 164
11x = 77
x = 7
Now that we have found the value of x, we can find the measure of angle DCB:
Angle DCB = 87 + 3(7)
Angle DCB = 87 + 21
Angle DCB = 108
Therefore, the measure of angle DCB is 108 degrees.
