The ‘angle at centre is twice the angle at circumference’ rule does not work this way.

EOD = 2 x ECD (angle at centre = 2 x angle at circumference)

58° = 2 x ECD
ECD = 58° ÷ 2 = 29°

ABCE is a cyclic quadrilateral.

So EAB + ECB = 180° (opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180)

ECB = 180° - 100° = 80°

x = ECD + ECB = 80° + 29° = 109°

And follow up with the EABC cyclic quadrant.

Since EAB is 100 deg, ECB is 180 - 100 = 80 deg.

Add this to J’s answer.

EDIT: J has since included this 80 degrees. Final answer is 109 degrees.
