To find the measure of \( x \) for the two adjacent angles \( x^\circ \) and \( (x + 30)^\circ \), which together sum to \( 90^\circ \), we can set up the following equation:

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

Combining like terms, we have:

\[ 2x + 30 = 90 \]

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

\[ 2x = 90 - 30 \] \[ 2x = 60 \]

Now, we divide by \( 2 \):

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

Thus, the value of \( x \) is 30.
