Answer:
108 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 16 = 3x - 12 (corresponding angles; AB parallel to CD).
16 + 12 = 3x - 2x
x = 28.
So the angle marked 3x - 12 = 3(28) - 12
= 72 degrees.
Angle y is adjacent to the angle so
y = 180 - 72
= 108 degrees.
We can answer without the picture or answer options
The question said that it told you the base angles. A roof would have two equal base angles. The base angles= 53
All the angles of a triangle each 180, (the roof is shaped like a triangle)
So, let's make x the missing angle.
53(2)+x=180
106+x=180
Subtract 106 on both sides.
180-106= 74
The vertex angle is 74.
I hope this helps!

Any line is 180 degrees, so z is 67 degrees and x is 6.
You can put it in a TI84 calculator and find the answer.
