Answer:

35°

Explanation:

You want the measure of an angle marked if it is supplementary to one marked (4x +5)°.

Linear pair

The two marked angles form a linear pair, so are supplementary:

(4x +5)° +x° = 180°

5x +5 = 180 . . . . . . . . simplify, divide by °

x +1 = 36 . . . . . . . . divide by 5

x = 35 . . . . . . . . subtract 1

Angle KQM is a vertical angle with respect the angle marked x°, so it has the same measure.

The measure of ∠KQM is 35°.
