These are supplementary angles. Meaning that there sum is 180 degrees. To solve for x you can create a formula that adds them together and equals 180 degrees like so...

6x - 10 + 6x + 10 = 180

Now solve for x by combining like terms

12x + 0 = 180

12x = 180

Isolate x by dividing 12 to both sides

12x/12 = 180/12

x = 15

Hope this helped!
