Answer:
C) 18 eating gummy bears
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles indicated with x-expressions are supplementary, so we have ...
(5x) +(7x+24) = 180
12x +24 = 180 . . . collect terms
x +2 = 15 . . . . . . divide by 12
x = 13 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2
Then the obtuse angle is ...
7x +24 = 7(13) +24 = 115
__
The angle marked with a y-expression is a corresponding angle to this, so has the same measure.
6y +7 = 115
6y = 108 . . . . subtract 7; next divide by 6
y = 18
