Explanation:

when 2 lines intersect, the angles on both sides of either one of the lines midst be the same, of course (where would other angles come from ? we are dealing with straight lines). they are only left-right mirrored.

therefore,

5x = 3x + 60

2x = 60

x = 30

so, both angles are 5×30 = (3×30 + 60) = 150°
