[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the value of x, we need to use the fact that the sum of the measures of angle M and angle L is 90°.

Given:
Measure of angle M = 37°
Measure of angle L = (3x + 5)°

Since the sum of the measures of angle M and angle L is 90°, we can set up the following equation:

37 + 3x + 5 = 90

Simplify the equation:

42 + 3x = 90

Subtract 42 from both sides:

3x = 48

Divide by 3:

x = 16

Therefore, the value of x is 16.
