Look at line 15:

<?<head>

The "<?" shouldn't be there.

Thanks for the reply. really appreciate it.

but I got another new error that popped up after I removed <? from <head>

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /hermes/web09/b2127/moo.learnhowtobehappyinf/aka-accounting/wp-content/themes/platform/header.php on line 22

Basically (and you can see this from the syntax highlighting in your posted code) you're getting completely mixed up about whether or not you're inside PHP tags or not. In this case, you start a PHP block on line 16 with "<?php", but on line 22 you forget that and start writing HTML without closing the PHP block with a "?>".
