I'm guessing here, but is this the problem??

If not, could you please be more specific.

If it is then,
Angle EGB=Angle AGE+Angle BGA

Subtract 7x from both sides.
Simplify.
Subtract 15 from both sides.
Simplify.
Multiply both sides by (-1).

x=20 degrees
From that, then,
Angle BGA=2x=2(20)=40 degrees
