Answer: D) 6

Step-by-Step Solution:

We know, (5x)° and (3x + 12)° are Vertically Opposite Angles and Vertically Opposite Angles are Equal.

Therefore,
5x = 3x + 12
5x - 3x = 12
2x = 12
x = 12/2
=> x = 6

Therefore, x = 6

\sf{\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}}

Let's solve for x ~


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 5x = 3x + 12

[ by vertical opposite angle pair ]


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 5x - 3x = 12


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 2x = 12


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = 12 / 2


\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: x = 6

Therefore, the correct choice is D. 6
