Answer:

x=21

Explanation:

Notice the right angle. Perpendicular to it on the right, we have two complementary angles, 25, and 3x+2 (you can ignore the parentheses basically). Because they are complementary angles, they will add up to 90, so we can make an equation to solve for x:

25+3x+2=90

3x+2=65

3x=63

x=21

So x=21 is the correct answer. Let me know if you have any questions about my explanation.
