First we need to find the value of x, we can use the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360°


6x+6x+9x+9x=360
\begin{gathered} 30x=360 \\ \end{gathered}

then we isolate the x


x=(360)/(30)


x=12

then for 9x and 6x, we substitute the value of x=12


6(12)=72
9(12)=108^{}

if x =12, therefore, the angle 6x=72° and the 9x=108°
