Answer:

  C)  60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the acute angles in a right triangle is 90°, so we have ...

  α + β = 90

  (5x³ +20) +(2x³ +14) = 90

  7x³ = 56 . . . . . . subtract 34, collect terms

  x³ = 8 . . . . . . . . divide by 7

Using this value in the expression for α, we find its measure to be ...

  α = 5·8 +20 = 60

  α = 60°
