x = 12°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a triangle = 180 degrees

(2x + 1)° + (5x + 5)° + 90° = 180°

open the bracket and collect like terms

2x + 1 + 5x + 5 + 90 = 180

2x + 5x + 1 + 5 + 90 =180

7x + 96 = 180

7x = 180 - 96

7x = 84

Divide both sides by 7:

7x/7 = 84/7

x = 12°
