Answer:

24; 118; 102

Explanation:

Starting from A: there are two ways. One, is a theorem that says "the amplitude of the external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the two angles not sharing the vertex". Which translates to the equation
62= x+(x+14) which has solution
x=24°.

Problem B is a red herring: x and 118° are corresponding angles related to the two parallel lines with a transversal, and they have the same amplitude, thus
x=118°

Finally, letter C : you know the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180°. It means that
41 + 37 + x = 180 or, with simple calculations (subtract 41 and 37 from both sides)
x= 102°
