Answer:

x=16

Explanation:

The two angles are complementary, which means they must add to 90 degrees.

∠T+∠V=90

We know that ∠T is 2x+10, and ∠V is 48. Therefore, we can substitute thesae values in.

2x+10+48=90

Combine like terms by adding 10 and 48

2x+58=90

Now, we have to solve for x. To do this, we must get x by itself.

Firs,t subtract 58 from both sides

2x+58-58=90-58

2x=32

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2=32/2

x=16
