It says that the are congruent angles which means they equal each other. So you set them up to equal each other.

thesmartone · Answer

So you would get 
4x-25=2x+5

-2x  -2x
2x=30

thesmartone · Answer

2x=30
--   ---
2       2
x=15

thesmartone · Answer

It wants angle rqs so just plug back in 15 for x into 4x=25

thesmartone · Answer

You should get 
4(15)-25
60-25
35
