Answer:

x = 30 degrees

Explanation:

When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, the alternate corresponding angles are supplementary, meaning their degree measures add up to 180. One can apply this here by stating that the two given angles add up to 180. Then one can simplify and use inverse operations to solve for (x).

(6x - 5) + (x - 25) = 180

6x - 5 + x - 25 = 180

7x - 30 = 180

+30 +30

7x = 210

/7 /7

x = 30
