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°

hope it helps you...................
A = P(1 + rt)
Where:
<span>·
</span>A = Total Accrued Amount (principal + interest)
<span>·
</span>P = Principal Amount
<span>·
</span>I = Interest Amount
<span>·
</span>r = Rate of Interest per year in decimal; r = R/100
<span>·
</span>R = Rate of Interest per year as a percent; R = r * 100
<span>·
</span>t = Time Period involved in months or years
A = 15,000(1+ 0.07(5))
A = 20,250 they acquired in total for 5 years
The yearly amount the get is 15,000 xx 0.07 = $ 1050 per
year
So in the next 25 years addition of 1050x25 = $26250 they
will get
