Answer:

100 degrees

Explanation:

Angle 1 + Angle 2 = 180 degrees (linear pair theorem)

Angle 2 = Angle 6 (verticle angles theorem)

Thus, we can substitute the given values of angle one and angle six into the following equation:

Angle 1 + Angle 6 = 180

4x - 20 + 5x - 25 = 180

9x - 45 = 180

9x = 225

x = 25 degrees

Angle 2 = Angle 6

5x - 25 = Angle 6, so 5x - 25 = Angle 2

5(25) - 25 = Angle 2

100 degrees = Angle 2
