1. Problem Description

We are given a diagram where the angles around point T form a straight line. We know that the angle PTQ\angle PTQ is 125 degrees and QTS\angle QTS is a right angle, which is 90 degrees. The angle RTS\angle RTS is given as (5x)(5x) degrees. The problem asks us to find the value of xx.

2. Solution Steps

The angles around point T form a straight line. Therefore, the sum of the angles PTQ\angle PTQ, QTS\angle QTS and RTS\angle RTS must equal 180 degrees.
PTQ+QTS+RTS=180\angle PTQ + \angle QTS + \angle RTS = 180^\circ
125+90+(5x)=180125^\circ + 90^\circ + (5x)^\circ = 180^\circ
215+5x=180215^\circ + 5x^\circ = 180^\circ
5x=1802155x = 180 - 215
5x=355x = -35
x=355x = \frac{-35}{5}
x=7x = -7

3. Final Answer

-7
