1. Problem Description

We are asked to find the size of angle xx in the given diagram. We are given that the angles 3030^{\circ}, xx, and 5555^{\circ} lie on a straight line.

2. Solution Steps

Angles on a straight line add up to 180180^{\circ}. Therefore, the sum of the angles 3030^{\circ}, xx, and 5555^{\circ} is equal to 180180^{\circ}.
We can write this as an equation:
30+x+55=18030^{\circ} + x + 55^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}
Combining the known angles:
85+x=18085^{\circ} + x = 180^{\circ}
To solve for xx, we subtract 8585^{\circ} from both sides of the equation:
x=18085x = 180^{\circ} - 85^{\circ}
x=95x = 95^{\circ}

3. Final Answer

The size of angle xx is 9595^{\circ}.
