The measure of angle M is 117°

A Parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel lines. The adjascent angles of a parallelogram sum up to be 180 and the opposite angles are equal.

6x + 9 + 3x + 9 = 180

9x = 180 - 18

9x = 162

divide both sides by 9

x = 162/9

x = 18

therefore the value of x is 18

The value of angle M is

angle M = 6x + 9

= 6(18) + 9

= 117°

Therefore the measure of angle M is 117°
