The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( x \) in the given problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set up the equation We know that the sum of two adjacent angles in a parallelogram is \( 180^\circ \). The two angles given are \( (2x + 25)^\circ \) and \( (3x - 5)^\circ \). Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ (2x + 25) + (3x - 5) = 180 \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equation Combine like terms in the equation: \[ 2x + 25 + 3x - 5 = 180 \] This simplifies to: \[ (2x + 3x) + (25 - 5) = 180 \] \[ 5x + 20 = 180 \] ### Step 3: Isolate the variable \( x \) Next, we will isolate \( x \) by subtracting \( 20 \) from both sides of the equation: \[ 5x = 180 - 20 \] \[ 5x = 160 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( x \) Now, divide both sides by \( 5 \) to find \( x \): \[ x = \frac{160}{5} \] Calculating this gives: \[ x = 32 \] ### Conclusion The value of \( x \) is \( 32 \). ---
