Answer:

x = 30

Explanation:

The 55 degree angle is congruent with the angle of x

55* = m∠x

Step 1. Take the equation of x (x + 25*) and line it up with 55

(x + 25) = 55

Step 2. Solve by subtracting both sides by 25

x = 30

Answer:

30 =x

Explanation:

The angles are correcting angle and corresponding angles are equal when the lines are parallel

55 = x+25

Subtract 25 from each side

55-25 = x+25

30 =x
