Understand that ray BE bisects angle ABC, which means it divides angle ABC into two equal angles: angle ABE and angle CBE.
Set up the equation expressing that angle ABE equals angle CBE, so: \$2x + 7 = 5x - 8$.
Solve the equation for \(x\) by isolating \(x\) on one side: subtract \$2x\( from both sides and add \(8\) to both sides to get \)7 + 8 = 5x - 2x$.
Simplify the equation to find \(x\): \$15 = 3x\(, then divide both sides by 3 to get \)x = 5$.
Calculate the measure of angle ABC by adding angle ABE and angle CBE using the found value of \(x\): \(\angle ABC = (2x + 7) + (5x - 8)\).
