Answer:

10

Explanation:

First, we know that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. We can then sum up our angles as 90 (since it's a right triangle, represented by the square in the bottom left angle) +27+6x+3=180

90+27+6x+3=180

Add up left side

120+6x=180

Subtract 120 from both sides

6x=60

Divide both sides by 6

x=10
