Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf x = 10}

Explanation:

Since the two angles are complementary angles, the measures of these angles add up to 90 degrees.

5x + 25 + x + 5 = 90

5x + x + 25 + 5 = 90

6x + 30 = 90

Subtract 30 to both sides

6x = 90 - 30

6x = 60

Divide 6 to both sides

x = 60 / 6

x = 10


\rule[225]{225}{2}
