D. 30° and 60°
To find the complementary angles, we need to set the measures of the two angles equal to each other and solve for x.
3x° = (2x - 5)°
Simplifying this equation, we get:
3x = 2x - 5
Subtracting 2x from both sides, we get:
x = -5
However, since angles cannot have negative measures, this solution is not valid. So, there are no valid values for x that satisfy the equation.
Therefore, the given angle measures of 3x° and (2x - 5)° cannot be complementary.
