Answer:

x = 15°

Explanation:

If you use Vertical Angles, you can move the two algebraic expressions next to each other and totaling 90° (because m and n are perpendicular)

x + 21 + 3x + 9 = 90°

combine like terms.

4x + 30 = 90

subtract 30 from both sides.

4x = 60

divide by 4.

x = 60/4

x = 15
