Explanation:

Problem 11 (Solve for \( x \) with the right - angled diagram)

Step 1: Identify the angle relationship

The two angles \( 3x + 25\) and \(x + 5\) add up to \(90^{\circ}\) (since it's a right angle). So we can set up the equation: \((3x + 25)+(x + 5)=90\).

Step 2: Simplify the left - hand side of the equation

Combine like terms: \(3x+x+25 + 5=90\), which simplifies to \(4x+30 = 90\).

Step 3: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract 30 from both sides: \(4x=90 - 30=60\). Then divide both sides by 4: \(x=\frac{60}{4}=15\)? Wait, maybe I misread the diagram. Wait, maybe the two angles are \(3x + 25\) and \(x + 5\) and the right angle is \(90\), but maybe the first angle is \(3x+25\) and the second is \(x + 5\) and their sum is \(90\). Wait, but the options are 5, 90, 25, 10. Let's re - check. Maybe the equation is \(3x+25+(x + 5)=90\), \(4x+30 = 90\), \(4x=60\), \(x = 15\) is not in the options. Wait, maybe the diagram is a right angle and one of the angles is \(3x + 25\) and the other is \(x+5\), and maybe I made a mistake. Wait, maybe the equation is \(3x+25=x + 5+90\)? No, that doesn't make sense. Wait, maybe the two angles are complementary? Wait, the options are 5, 90, 25, 10. Let's try \(x = 10\): \(3\times10+25=55\), \(10 + 5=15\), \(55 + 15=70
eq90\). \(x = 5\): \(3\times5+25 = 40\), \(5 + 5=10\), \(40+10 = 50
eq90\). \(x=25\): \(3\times25+25=100\), \(25 + 5=30\), \(100 + 30=130
eq90\). Wait, maybe the diagram is a right angle and the two angles are \(3x+25\) and \(x + 5\) and the right angle is \(90\), but maybe the first angle is \(3x+25\) and the second is \(x + 5\) and \(3x+25-(x + 5)=90\)? No. Wait, maybe the original diagram has a right angle and the two angles are \(3x + 25\) and \(x+5\) such that \(3x+25+(x + 5)=90\), but maybe I misread the coefficients. If it's \(3x+25\) and \(x + 5\) and the sum is 90, but the options don't have 15. Maybe the problem is different. Wait, maybe the first angle is \(3x+25\) and the second is \(x + 5\) and they are complementary, but maybe the equation is \(3x+25+x + 5=90\), \(4x=60\), \(x = 15\) (not in options). Maybe there is a typo, but among the options, let's check \(x = 10\): \(3\times10+25 = 55\), \(10 + 5=15\), \(55+15 = 70\). \(x = 5\): \(3\times5+25=40\), \(5 + 5=10\), \(40 + 10=50\). \(x=25\): \(3\times25+25 = 100\), \(25+5 = 30\), \(100+30 = 130\). \(x = 90\) is too big. Maybe I misread the problem.

Problem 12 (Intersecting lines)

Step 1: Identify the angle relationship

When two lines intersect, vertical angles are equal. Also, a linear pair of angles sums to \(180^{\circ}\). The angle of \(130^{\circ}\) and \((3x - 35)^{\circ}\) are vertical angles? Wait, no. The angle of \(130^{\circ}\) and the angle adjacent to \((3x - 35)^{\circ}\) form a linear pair. Wait, actually, \((3x-35)^{\circ}\) and \(130^{\circ}\) are equal? No, wait, when two lines intersect, vertical angles are equal. Wait, the angle opposite to \(130^{\circ}\) is equal to \(130^{\circ}\), and the angle \((3x - 35)^{\circ}\) and the angle adjacent to \(130^{\circ}\) (which is \(180 - 130=50^{\circ}\))? No, wait, let's see: the angle \((3x - 35)^{\circ}\) and \(130^{\circ}\) are supplementary? No, if we consider the intersection, the angle \((3x - 35)^{\circ}\) and \(130^{\circ}\) are equal? Wait, no, vertical angles are equal. Wait, maybe \((3x-35)^{\circ}=130^{\circ}\)? No, \(3x-35 = 130\), \(3x=165\), \(x = 55\). Let's check: \(3\times55-35=165 - 35 = 130\). Oh! Because vertical angles are equal. So the angle \((3x - 35)^{\circ}\) and \(130^{\circ}\) are vertical angles, so they are equal.

Step 1: Set up the equation

Since vertical angles are equal, we have \(3x-35 = 130\).

Step 2: Solve for \(x\)

Add 35 to both sides: \(3x=130 + 35=165\). Then divide both sides by 3: \(x=\frac{165}{3}=55\).

Step 1: Identify the angle relationship

The two angles \(2x + 10\) and \(4x+20\) form a linear pair, so their sum is \(180^{\circ}\). So we set up the equation: \((2x + 10)+(4x + 20)=180\).

Step 2: Simplify the left - hand side

Combine like terms: \(2x+4x+10 + 20=180\), which simplifies to \(6x+30 = 180\).

Step 3: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract 30 from both sides: \(6x=180 - 30=150\). Then divide both sides by 6: \(x=\frac{150}{6}=25\).
