The correct Answer is:
To find the values of \( x \) for which the angles \( (2x - 5)^\circ \) and \( (x - 10)^\circ \) are complementary, we follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of complementary angles Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is \( 90^\circ \). ### Step 2: Set up the equation Since the angles \( (2x - 5)^\circ \) and \( (x - 10)^\circ \) are complementary, we can write the equation: \[ (2x - 5) + (x - 10) = 90 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Combine like terms: \[ 2x - 5 + x - 10 = 90 \] This simplifies to: \[ 3x - 15 = 90 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( x \) Add \( 15 \) to both sides of the equation: \[ 3x - 15 + 15 = 90 + 15 \] This gives us: \[ 3x = 105 \] Now, divide both sides by \( 3 \): \[ x = \frac{105}{3} \] Calculating this gives: \[ x = 35 \] ### Final Answer The value of \( x \) is \( 35 \). ---
