The value of x = 6.

From the information provided, we can determine the following:

Angle 1 and Angle 2 are alternate interior angles. This means they are equal because l || m and n is a transversal.

Therefore, (5x+25)° = (15x-35)°

Solving for x:

Subtract 5x from both sides:

5x + 25° - 5x = 15x - 35° - 5x

Combine like terms:

25° = 10x - 35°

Add 35° to both sides:

25° + 35° = 10x - 35° + 35°

Combine like terms:

60° = 10x

Divide both sides by 10:

60° / 10 = 10x / 10

Therefore, x = 6.

Complete question:

In the given figure l||m and n is a transversal. If angle 1= (5x+25)° and angle 2= (15x-35)° , then find the value of x.​
