To find the value of x, we can use the fact that the sum of complementary angles is 90 degrees.
We are given that one angle measures 25 degrees, so the other angle measures 5x degrees.
Therefore, we can write the equation: 25 + 5x = 90.
Subtracting 25 from both sides gives: 5x = 65.
Dividing both sides by 5 gives: x = 13.
Therefore, x has a value of 13.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a right angle. A ray extends from the right angle to create complementary angles. One angle measures 25 degrees. The other angle measures 5 x degrees. The angles are not labeled.
Solve for the value of x .
