Answer:


x=6,\\m\angle 1=18^(\circ)

Explanation:

Since the problem denotes the figure as a parallelogram,
\overline{AB} is parallel to
\overline{DC}. Therefore, angles 1 and 2 are equal (from corresponding angles and vertical angles).

Therefore, we have the following equation:


m\angle 1=m\angle 2,\\x+12=6x-18,\\30=5x,\\x=\boxed{6}

Substituting
x=6:


m\angle 1=x+12=6+12=\boxed{18^(\circ)}
