Sorry, it's late, and I'm a bad explainer.
The error is adding (2x-12) with x and 30. This is wrong because you are adding the angles inside the triangle and you are assuming that (2x - 12) is the unlabeled angle INSIDE the triangle, when it is the exterior angle/outside of the triangle.
A straight line is also 180°.
(2x - 12) + ? = 180
30 + x + ? = 180
If you look at the equations, and put parentheses around 30 + x, (30 + x) and (2x - 12) should be the SAME NUMBER. So you could set them equal to each other to find x. (or you could also look at the picture and see that they both need/are missing the same angle)
2x - 12 = 30 + x
x = 42
Now you plug 42 into the exterior angle equation
2(42) - 12 = 84 - 12 = 72°
Answer:
I think that the answer would be C because you have to multiply the term at the top. This would mean you would not do C. Sorry if this is wrong. At least you have your eliminating process now. lol so doing C is out of the box, which makes C your answer.

Answer:
x= 6, -4
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 2x - 24 = 0
(x-6) (x+4) = 0
x = 6, x= -4
The maximum height is 144 feet.
The maximum height is the y-coordinate of the vertex. To find the vertex, we first use x = -b/2a. For our information, that is x=-64/2(-16) = -64/-32 = 2.
Now we substitute this into the equation:
y = -16(2²) + 64(2) + 80 = -64 + 128 + 80 = 144
S = sally C = Chris J = Joe
sally is one year older than 3 times the age of joe, so
s = 3j + 1
chris is 5 years younger than 6 times the age of jo, so
c = 6j - 5
sally and chris are the same age so
s = c so
3j + 1 = 6j - 5
-3j -3j
1 = 3j - 5
+5 +5
6 = 3j or
3j = 6
3j/3 = 6/3
j = 2
check
s = c
3(2) +1 = 6(2) - 5
6 + 1 = 12 - 5
7 = 7 correct✅
