Explanation:

Step1: Identify Angle Relationship

Angles 3 and 5 are same - side interior angles? Wait, no, looking at the diagram, lines \(p\) and \(q\) are parallel (marked with the same tick marks), and \(t\) is a transversal. Wait, actually, angles 3 and 5: if \(p\parallel q\), then same - side interior angles are supplementary? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, looking at the positions, angle 3 and angle 5: actually, if \(p\) and \(q\) are parallel, then angle 3 and angle 5 are same - side interior angles? Wait, no, let's re - examine. Wait, the diagram: two parallel lines \(p\) and \(q\), cut by transversal \(t\). Angle 3 and angle 5: angle 3 is on line \(p\), above the transversal, angle 5 is on line \(q\), below the transversal? Wait, no, maybe they are alternate interior angles? Wait, no, the problem says "same side interior angles" is an option. Wait, no, if \(p\parallel q\), same - side interior angles are supplementary. Wait, but the measures are \(m\angle3=(3x + 4)^{\circ}\) and \(m\angle5=(2x + 11)^{\circ}\). Wait, maybe I misidentified the angle relationship. Wait, actually, if \(p\parallel q\), then angle 3 and angle 5: let's see the positions. Angle 3 and angle 5: are they equal? Wait, no, maybe they are alternate interior angles? Wait, no, the problem states that angles 3 and 5 are same - side interior angles? Wait, no, the option given is "same side interior angles", but same - side interior angles are supplementary. Wait, maybe there's a mistake, or maybe the lines are parallel, so same - side interior angles sum to \(180^{\circ}\)? Wait, no, let's check the problem again. Wait, the problem says "Angles 3 and 5 are same side interior angles" (from the dropdown). Then the equation to solve for \(x\) would be \((3x + 4)+(2x + 11)=180\)? Wait, no, maybe I got the angle relationship wrong. Wait, no, maybe they are alternate interior angles? If \(p\parallel q\), alternate interior angles are equal. Let's assume that maybe the problem has a typo, or maybe I misread. Wait, let's look at the diagram: angle 3 and angle 5: angle 3 is adjacent to angle 2, angle 5 is adjacent to angle 6. Wait, maybe angle 3 and angle 5 are alternate interior angles? If \(p\parallel q\), then alternate interior angles are equal. So \(3x + 4=2x + 11\). Let's solve that.

Step2: Solve the Equation

If \(3x + 4=2x + 11\), subtract \(2x\) from both sides: \(3x-2x + 4=2x-2x + 11\), which gives \(x + 4=11\). Then subtract 4 from both sides: \(x=11 - 4=7\).

Step3: Find \(m\angle5\)

Now, substitute \(x = 7\) into the expression for \(m\angle5\), which is \((2x + 11)^{\circ}\). So \(2(7)+11=14 + 11=25^{\circ}\). Wait, but let's check with \(m\angle3\): \(3(7)+4=21 + 4=25^{\circ}\). Oh! So they are equal, which means they are alternate interior angles, not same - side interior angles. So maybe the dropdown for the angle relationship was wrong, or I misread. But since when we solve \(3x + 4=2x + 11\), we get \(x = 7\), and then \(m\angle5=25^{\circ}\).

Answer:

The equation is \(3x + 4=2x + 11\) (assuming alternate interior angles, since their measures are equal), solving gives \(x = 7\), and \(m\angle5=25^{\circ}\).
