From the given information, we know that one angle measures 25 degrees and the other angle measures 5x degrees.
Since the given angles are complementary, their measures add up to 90 degrees.
So, we can write the equation as follows:
25 + 5x = 90
Subtracting 25 from both sides gives:
5x = 65
Finally, dividing both sides by 5 gives:
x = 13
Therefore, the value of x is 13.
