Answer:

1. 28

2. 53

Explanation:

1. The angle CFD is a straight line, this means that the measure is 180. This means, using the angle addition postulate, you can set up the equation
180=x+152. Then, subtract 152 from both sides to get
x=28.

2. The question states that the two angles are complementary. This means that they summate to 90 degrees. So using the angle addition postulate again, you can set up the equation,
90=x+37. Finally, subtract 37 from both sides to get
x=53.
