Answer:

∠ A = 138° , ∠ C = 75°

Explanation:

ABCD has parallel bases and is a trapezium

each lower base angle is supplementary to the upper base angle on the same side.

∠ A + 42° = 180° ( subtract 42° from both sides )

∠ A = 138°

∠ B + ∠ C = 180 , that is

12x - 3 + 9x - 6 = 180

21x - 9 = 180 ( add 9 to both sides )

21x = 189 ( divide both sides by 21 )

x = 9

Then

∠ C = 9x - 6 = 9(9) - 6 = 81 - 6 = 75°
