Answer:

A equals 105 degrees, option 2

Explanation:

7x + 5x gives 180. 7x and 5x lie on a line so they form a linear pair. Their sum equals 180 degrees:-

7x + 5x = 180

12x = 180

x =
(180)/(12)

x = 15

Since x is 15, we can find the lengths of 7x and 5x.

7x would be 7 x 15 = 105

5x would be 5 x 15 = 75

'A' is equal to 7x since they are vertically opposite angles.

Since 7x is 105 degrees, then A would be 105 degrees as well.
