Answer:

a. 125

Explanation:

the angle labeled "x" is supplementary with the angle that has a measure of 55°

Supplementary angles add up to equal 180°

This means that x + 55 must equal 180

Note that we've just created an equation that we can use to solve for x.

We now solve for x using the equation we just created.

x + 55 = 180

subtract 55 from both sides

x = 125

The answer is a
