h = t - 15

h + t = 33

Because we have a value of h, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for t.

t - 15 + t = 33

Add 15 to both sides.

t + t = 48

Combine like terms.

2t = 48

Divide both sides by 2.

t = 24

<h3>Thomas's age is 24.</h3>

Based on the diagram shown, all of the following are true statements except

ira [324]

You are correct. The answer is choice C.

The other choices A, B, D have each side add up to 180 degrees either because the angles are a linear pair (adjacent and supplementary) or because the angles are same side interior angles. Same side interior angles are supplementary if a transversal line cuts through a pair of parallel lines as so happens in this diagram.
