Answer:

• x = 35
• ∠BCA = 29°

Explanation:

In order to determine the value of x, the measure of angle BCA must be known. If we assume the figure is a kite, then ...

∠CDB = ∠CBD = 61°

∠CBD +∠BCA = 90°

So, the measure of angle BCA is ...

∠BCA = 90° -∠CBD = 90° -61°

∠BCA = 29°

__

Now we can find x from ...

29° = (-6 +x)°

29 +6 = x = 35
