Hi there!
Angles that are complementary add up to 90. We know that in order to find the value of x, we'll need to create an equation. This equation would be (x + 15) + 48 = 90. This is because, together, the two angles must add up to 90.
ANSWER:
D - (x + 15) + 48 = 90
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

Answers: x = -17 and x = 64</h3>
====================================================
Explanation
Consider three scenarios:
- A) The value of x is the smallest of the set (aka the min)
- B) The value of x is the largest of the set (aka the max)
- C) The value of x is neither the min, nor the max. So 8 < x < 39.
These scenarios cover all the possible cases of what x could be. It's either the min, the max, or somewhere in between the min and max.
--------------------
We'll start with scenario A.
If x is the min, then that must mean 39 is the max as it's the largest of the set {18, 36, 16, 39, 27, 8, 34}
The range is 56, so,
range = max - min
56 = 39 - x
56+x= 39
x = 39-56
x = -17 which is one possible answer
--------------------
If instead we go with scenario B, then x is the max and 8 is the min
range = max - min
56 = x - 8
56+8 = x
64 = x
x = 64 is the other possible answer
--------------------
Lastly, let's consider scenario C. If x is not the min or the max, then it's somewhere between the min 8 and max 39. in short, 8 < x < 39.
Note that range = max - min = 39-8 = 31 which is not the range of 56 that we want. So there's no way scenario C can be possible here.
Answer: -14, -17, and -20
Step-by-step explanation: Study the sequence.
Notice that each number is 3 less than the number before it.
In other words, -2 - 3 is -5, -5 - 3 is -8, and -8 - 3 is -11.
Now, if we continue with this same sequence,
-11 - 3 is -14, -14 - 3 is -17, and -17 - 3 is -20.
So the next three numbers are -14, -17, and -20.
There we go!
X + 3x-10 + 70-x = 180
3x = 120
X = 40
The size of the largest angle is 3x - 10, because it is the biggest side.
Hope it helps, have a great day!
