B)55

Step-by-step explanation

when a line intersects a pair of parallel lines, diverse angles are created

the pair of interior angles in opposite sides of the transversal are called alternate interior angles

those angles are congruent, it means


\text{angle}\angle1=angle\angle2

so, for the angles in the question


\begin{gathered} 55\~=m\angle x \\ 55=x \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is


B)55

I hope this helps you
