In the problem, it seems like we are dealing with two angles, B and G, which are influenced by the variable \( x \). Additionally, angle E is influenced by another variable, \( y \). Since lines \( x \) and \( y \) are parallel, we can use the fact that angles corresponding to parallel lines and a transversal will maintain specific relationships.
However, we need more clarity on the relationships between angles B, G, and E. We usually consider cases where angles are congruent or supplementary based on their positions with respect to the parallel lines.
Without the specific relationships among angles B, G, and E, we typically assume scenarios such as:
1. If B and G are corresponding angles, then \( B = G \).
2. If B and E are alternate interior angles, then \( B = E \).
**Assuming B and G are equal (corresponding angles):**
Setting them equal gives us:
\[
7x + 12 = 5x + 24
\]
Now, solve for \( x \):
\[
7x - 5x = 24 - 12
\]
\[
2x = 12
\]
\[
x = 6
\]
Now substitute \( x = 6 \) back into the equation for B:
\[
B = 7(6) + 12 = 42 + 12 = 54
\]
Next, we can find E. If we assume angle E follows the same relation and can also be expressed using \( y \) based on the established relation (but we do not have any relation provided), we also need to provide a way to calculate values of E based on \( y \). However, if we want to assume it’s just a function of an unrelated variable and find just E for any \( y \):
\[
E = 4y + 20
\]
Since we don't have a value for \( y \), we cannot provide an exact value for E without further information on y.
**Thus under given assumptions:**
\[
B = 54
\]
\[
E = 4y + 20 \text{ (depends on the value of } y\text{)}
\]
If you have further context or relationships between E and the other angles, please provide that for a more precise solution!
