The correct answer is

\(115^\circ\)

When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the co-interior (same-side interior) angles are supplementary, adding to \(180^\circ\).

The \(65^\circ\) angle at line A and the angle \(x\) at line B are co-interior angles on the same side of the transversal.

Therefore \(x + 65^\circ = 180^\circ\), so \(x = 115^\circ\).

Hence, the value of \(x\) is \(115^\circ\).
