18- C
All angles in a triangle sum up to 180 degrees. The triangle provided is isosceles. In an isosceles triangle, the three angles are 45, 45, and 90 degrees. Therefore, the value of \(x\) is 45.

19- B
20 percent of \(120=\frac{20}{100}×120=\frac{1}{5}×120=24\)

20- B
The ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is 3 to 2. Therefore, the total number of marbles must be divisible by 5.
