Since lines p and q are parallel

Since line t intersect them, then

<2 and the angle of measure 55 degrees are corresponding angles

Since the corresponding angles are equal in measures, then

m < 2 = 55 degrees

Since < 2 and < 4 form a pair of linear angles

Since the sum of the measures of the linear angles is 180 degrees, then

m < 2 + m < 4 = 180

55 + m < 4 = 180

Subtract 55 from both sides

55 - 55 + m < 4 = 180 - 55

m < 4 = 125 degrees

Since < 4 and < 5 are alternate angles

Since alternate angles are equal in measures, then

m < 4 = m < 5

m < 5 = 125 degrees
