You can put this solution on YOUR website!
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
6x%2B15=%285x-5%29%2B2x
6x%2B15=7x-5
6x-7x%2B15=7x-7x-5 Subtract 7x from both sides.
-x%2B15=-5 Simplify.
-x%2B15-15=-5-15 Subtract 15 from both sides.
-x=-20 Simplify.
x=20 Multiply both sides by (-1).

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