It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

2x+5 + 3x-5 = 180 (adjacent angles of a parallelogram adds to 180 degree)

5x = 180

[spoiler]x = 36, D[/spoiler]
