Answer:

45 degrees

Explanation:

Hi there!

We're given that m and n are parallel. This makes the third line a transversal, a line that cuts through them both.

Observe the relation between the angle that measures 135 degrees, the angle that measures x degrees and the transversal. This formation makes 135 and x supplementary angles, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.

To find x, subtract 135 from 180:

180-135 = 45

I hope this helps!
