Answer: x=6

The two angles shown in each are complementary because they add up to 90°.

10 & 12 would be supplementary to one another because they would add up to 180°.

Explanation:

We know that on both 10 & 12 the angles add up to equal 90° so...

10. 8x+7x=90

15x=90

x=6

12. it's the same in pic as 10

The two angles shown in each are complementary because they add up to 90°.

10 & 12 would be supplementary to one another because they would add up to 180°.
