Sagot :

Given data:

The given angle M is ∠M=(5x+10)°.

The given angle R is ∠R=55°.

The expression for the sum of both the angles is,

[tex]\angle M+\angle R=90^{\circ}[/tex]

Substitute the given values in the above expression.

[tex]\begin{gathered} (5x+10)^{\circ}+55^{\circ}=90^{\circ} \\ 5x=25^{\circ} \\ x=5^{\circ} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the value of x is 5 degrees.
