To find the value of x, we know that the sum of the two complementary angles must equal 90 degrees.
So, 25 degrees + 5x degrees = 90 degrees.
Simplifying this equation gives us:
5x + 25 = 90
Subtracting 25 from both sides gives us:
5x = 65
Finally, dividing both sides by 5 gives us:
x = 13
Therefore, the value of x is 13.
