Answer:

C. 25°

Step-by-step explanation:

Prepare a sketch such that the first line with points VRS intersect the line with points TRW at R where ∠WRS and ∠VRT are vertical angles.

Because line TW intersect line SV at R, then ∠WRV and ∠SRT are vertical angles.

The sum of ∠SRT and ∠VRT =180°

Thus (25x +30)°+(5x)° =180°

25x +30° +5x =180°

30x= 180°-30°

30 x = 150°

x= 150/30

x= 5°

∠SRT = 25x+30 = 25*5 +30 =155°

∠WRS= 180°-155°=25°
