Answer is x = 45
Reason
The square box indicates 90 degree angle so the remaining area (5x + x) is equal to 360-90= 270
So
5x + x = 270
6x = 270
Isolate x by dividing both sides by 6
X = 45

\huge\text{Hey there!}


\huge\textbf{Your temporary equation: }


\mathsf{5x + x = \ ?}


\huge\textbf{We know: }


\large\textbf{That ONE angle equals 90}^\circ\large\textbf{ and the whole entire angle is}\\\large\textbf{360}^\circ.


\huge\textbf{Knowing that much information, we can}\\\\\huge\textbf{make the equation much easier to solve.}\\\\\\\huge\textbf{We will simplify the angle sides and it}\\\\\huge\textbf{should give you the answer behind the}\\\\\huge\textbf{the equal sign.}


\mathbf{360^\circ - 90^\circ = \boxed{\mathbf{the\ mystery\ number\ behind\ the\ equal\ sign}}}


\huge\textbf{Simplify it!}


\mathbf{the\ mystery\ number\ behind\ the\ equal\ sign = \boxed{\bf 270}}}}


\huge\textbf{New equation:}


\mathbf{5x + x = 270^\circ}


\huge\textbf{COMBINE the LIKE TERMS:}


\mathbf{(5x + x) = 270^\circ}


\mathbf{5x + x = 270^\circ}


\huge\textbf{Remember a variable by itself is}\\\\\huge\textbf{understood as an invisible 1.}


\huge\textbf{Anyway, back to answering the equation}


\mathbf{5x + x}


\mathbf{= 5x + 1x}


\mathbf{= 6x}


\huge\textbf{New equation:}


\mathbf{6x = 270^\circ}


\huge\textbf{DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES:}


\mathbf{(6x)/(6)=(270)/(6)}


\huge\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT!}


\mathbf{x = (270)/(6)}


\mathbf{x = 45}


\huge\textbf{Answer:}


\huge\boxed{\mathsf{x = 45}}}\huge\checkmark


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
