I am assuming the problem states that:
D is a point on side BC of a triangle ABC such that AD is perpendicular to BC.
E is a point on AD for which AE:ED = 5:1.
angleBAD=30%5Eo
tan%28ACB%29=6tan%28DBE%29

In that case, the triangle looks like this:
Triangles ACD, ABD, and EBD are right triangles, each of them having a right angle at vertex D.
In triangle ABD,
angleBAD=30%5Eo , so angleABD=90%5Eo-30%5Eo=60%5Eo .
In triangle EBD,
tan%28DBE%29=ED%2FBD=x%2FBD .
In triangle EBD,
tan%28ACD%29=AD%2FBD=6x%2FCD .
system%28tan%28DBE%29=x%2FBD%2Ctan%28ACD%29=6x%2FCD%2Ctan%28ACB%29=6tan%28DBE%29%29--->6x%2FCD=6x%2FBD--->CD=BD .
So right triangles ABD and ACD are congruent,
meaning that angles ACB=ACD and ABD are congruent.
Since angleABD=60%5Eo , angleACB=highlight%2860%5Eo%29
