The two angles shown in the picture given are called "vertical angles," meaning that they are equal to each other. Therefore, we can equate the two given expressions together and solve for the variable, [tex]x[/tex].
[tex]2x+24=144[/tex]
[tex]2x=120[/tex]
[tex]x=60[/tex]
Therefore, the value of x in this scenario is [tex]\boxed{C)60}[/tex]. Hope this helped and have a terrific day!
