Answer:

A. 5x^2 − 2x − 24 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

height = 5b-2

b =x

We can rewrite the height as

h = 5x-2

We know the formula for area of a triangle

A = 1/2 bh

A =1/2 x * (5x-2)

Distributing the x

A=    1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

We know A =12

12 = 1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

Multiply each side by 2

12*2 = 2*1/2 (5x^2 - 2x)

24 = 5x^2 - 2x

Subtract 24 from each side

24-24 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

0 = 5x^2 - 2x-24

Theorem

In a triangle, the measure of an exterior angle equals the sum of the measures of its two remote interior angles.

x + y = z

4n - 18 + n + 8 = 133 - 6n

5n - 10 = 133 - 6n

11n = 143

n = 13

z = 133 - 6n = 133 - 6(13) = 133 - 78 = 55

Answer: C. 55
