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.

To find the value of x, we can use the fact that complementary angles add up to 90 degrees.
Since one angle measures 25 degrees and the other angle measures 5x degrees, we can set up the equation:
25 + 5x = 90
Now, we solve for x:
5x = 90 - 25
5x = 65
x = 65/5
x = 13
Therefore, the value of x is 13.
