Answer:

x = 21

Explanation:

The angle marked (6x - 21) and the angle marked 75 are supplementary angles. This means that they add up to 180 (by definition). We know this because they lie on a straight line, and a straight line is always 180 degrees. Then we can set up an equation:

(6x - 21) + 75 = 180

6x + 54 = 180

6x = 180 - 54 = 126

x = 126/6 = 21

Thus, x = 21.

Hope this helps!
