Answer:

Explanation:

Since the GCF of the numbers is 5, it means that all three numbers are divisible by 5. To maintain the ascending order, x should be greater than 40 and less than 100.

The largest possible value of x can be found by looking for the highest number between 40 and 100 that is divisible by 5. In this case, the largest number divisible by 5 between 40 and 100 is 95.
