Answer:

x = 24

Explanation:

mathematically, in a cyclic quadrilateral, two opposite angles are supplementary

what this mean is that they add up to be 180

From what we have in the question, the two angles are supplementary and that means they add up to equal 180 degrees

thus, we have it that;

(4x + 9) + (3x + 3) = 180

4x + 3x + 9 + 3 = 180

7x + 12 = 180

7x = 180-12

7x = 168

x = 168/7

x = 24
