To find the value of \( x \), we first express all angles in terms of \( x \). We have: - Angle \( A = x + 6 \) - Angle \( B = 2A = 2(x + 6) = 2x + 12 \) - Angle \( C = B = 2x + 12 \) Now, we can use the triangle angle sum property, which states that the sum of the angles in a triangle is always \( 180^\circ \): \[ A + B + C = 180 \] Substituting in the values, we get: \[ (x + 6) + (2x + 12) + (2x + 12) = 180 \] This simplifies to: \[ x + 6 + 2x + 12 + 2x + 12 = 180 \] Combining like terms: \[ 5x + 30 = 180 \] Now, we can solve for \( x \): \[ 5x = 180 - 30 \] \[ 5x = 150 \] \[ x = 30 \] So the value of \( x \) is \( 30\) and the correct answer is A.
