Answer:

11

Explanation:

The two labelled angles are complementary, which means they add up to 90 degrees. (Note: the little "square" in the corner of an angle always means that it's 90 degrees)

Here, we have 35 and 5x, and their sum is 90 so:

35 + 5x = 90

5x = 90 - 35 = 55

x = 55/5 = 11

Thus, the answer is 11.

Hope this helps!
