0. The unknown angle (x+3) and 27 degrees are on a straight line.

,

1. The sum of angles on a straight line is 180 degrees.

,

2. Two or more angles are said to be supplementary if they add up to 180 degrees.

,

3. Therefore, the 27 degree angle and the unknown angle are ,Supplementary, since Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.
