Answer:

x=5

Explanation:

If p and q are parallel, then the two angles in question should be equal to one another.

So,

(3x+15)°=(8x-10)°

(3x+15)°+10°=(8x-10)°+10°

(3x+25)°=(8x)°

(3x+25)°-(3x)°=(8x)°-(3x)°

25°=5x°

5=x

So, the two angles should be (8(5)-10)° and (3(5)+15)°. Both of these expressions equal 30°. This makes sense, as the illustration shows that the two angles are acute.
