Answer:

x = 7

Explanation:

We assume the hash marks are intended to indicate both triangles are isosceles. Then the right-end angle of the upper triangle is ...

180° -2(75°) = 30°

Its complement is the supplement of the "missing variable" angle.

90° -30° = 180° -(18x -6)°

18x = 126 . . . . . rearranging (add 18x -60)

x = 7 . . . . . . . . . divide by 18
