Answer:

x = 25

Explanation:

The given angles, x° and (6x+5)° form a linear pair. You want the value of x.

Linear pair

Two angles that together form a straight line are called a linear pair. A linear pair of angles has a total measure of 180°.

x° +(6x +5)° = 180°

7x +5 = 180 . . . . . . . . . divide by °, collect terms

7x = 175 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5

x = 25 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7

The value of x is 25.
