please help me solve it I'm so lost. Giving maximum points.

AEC and BED are vertical angles, which mean they are equal.
Set those two equations to equal and find those angles, then we can find AEB.
First:
3y+20 = 5y -16
Add 16 to each side:
3y+36 = 5y
Subtract 3y from each side:
36 = 2y
Divide both sides by 2: y = 36 /2
y = 18.
Now solve AEC:
3(18) +20 = 54+20 = 74
Both AEC and BED are 74 degrees.
AEB and CED asre also vertical angles and would be the same.
Subtract 74 +74 from 360 then divide by 2:
AEB = (360 - 74 - 74) / 2
AEB = 212 /2
AEB = 106 degrees
