Solution

ABCD is a parallelogram.
i.e., ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D (Opposite angles)
Also, ∠A + ∠B = 180o (Adjacent angles are supplementary) ​
∴​ (2x + 25)°â€‹ + (3x − 5)°â€‹ = 180
⇒ ​5x +20 = 180
⇒​ 5x = 160
⇒​ x = 32o
∴​∠A = 2 ⨯ 32 + 25 = 89o and ∠B = 3 ⨯ 32 − 5 = 91o
Hence, x = 32o, ∠A = ∠C = 89o and ∠B = ∠D = 91o
