Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Line m and n are parallel lines cut by the transversal (without name). So, angles with measures [tex]65^{\circ}[/tex] and [tex](3x+5)^{\circ}[/tex] are corresponding angles.

The Corresponding Angles Theorem states if two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.

Hence,

[tex]3x+5=65\\ \\3x+5-5=65-5\\ \\3x=60\\ \\x=\dfrac{60}{3}\\ \\x=20[/tex]
