I qould say the answer is b. 59.
First I am going to assume that these are both right triangles based off of look and because it is much easier. Without it you have to use law of sines or law of cosines...
So to find x you must first find y which can be done simply by using the pythagorean theorem. This theorem is defined as the sum of the squared legs is equal to the sum of the hypotenuse or x^2 + y^2 = z^2
If we substitute in the known values 16^2 + y^2 = 20^2 and solve for y we get that y = sqrt(20^2 - 16^2), this then simplifies to y = 12
Finding x is much more annoying, the easiest way I can immediately see is to find the upper angles by doing sin(16/20) and then 90 - sin(16/20) since the complementary angle is the one you want. I don't have a calculator or a trig table with me right now but I will tell you that x will be equal to 12 ÷ the inverse cosine of the angle (90degrees - sin(16/20)).
I am pretty sure the answer is D though because we know for sure y = 12 and x has to be greater than y because the hypotenuse must be larger than both legs. It could be E but you won't know unless you do the math for x. So it is either D or E but I would be surprised if a Professor made you do all of the work just to say it doesn't work...
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x
=
12
Step 1: Divide both sides by 2.

=
12

Answer:
x

6
James should define that the rays must be collinear. the two rays coming from the same point will form collinear rays which will form an angle at end point.
The statement of james should be precise in order to clearly explain the angle formation.
The two non collinear rays will form an angle at end point where they meet with each other.
The defined vertex will form the appropriate angle. there should be defined term for the non collinear rays.

The answer is B) -x^2-3
This is because you have an exponential graph that is flipped, hence the negative sign, and down 3.
