Notice that the two given angles are generated by a transversal crossing a pair of parallel lines; therefore, those two angles are consecutive interior angles, and they are supplementary. Thus,


\begin{gathered} 5x+4x=180\degree \\ \Rightarrow9x=180\degree \\ \Rightarrow x=20\degree \\ Therefore \\ \Rightarrow4x=80\degree \\ and \\ 5x=100\degree \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is x=20°, the labeled angles are 80°, and 100°, the first option.
