To solve for \( x \) in the two adjacent angles measuring \( x° \) and \( (x + 30)° \) that together make a \( 90° \) angle, you can set up the following equation:

\[
x + (x + 30) = 90
\]

Now, simplify the equation:

\[
x + x + 30 = 90
\]

\[
2x + 30 = 90
\]

Next, subtract \( 30 \) from both sides:

\[
2x = 90 - 30
\]

\[
2x = 60
\]

Now, divide by \( 2 \):

\[
x = \frac{60}{2} = 30
\]

So, the measure of the angle \( x \) is \( \boxed{30} \).
