answer: 99°

explanation: first, we need to find angle T. we know that angle T and angle R are vertical angles, which means they’re the same. therefore, we solve the equation for x by doing angle T = angle R:
3x + 36 = 6x - 9
subtract 36 on both sides
3x = 6x - 45
subtract 6 on both sides
-3x = -45
divide both sides by -3
x= 15
then, plug in the value of x in 3x+36 to get angle T:
3(15) + 36= 81°
we found that angle T is 81°.
now, we need to find the supplementary angle of angle T. supplementary angles add up together to have a sum of 180°. to find the supplementary angle, subtract angle T from 180°:
180 - 81 = 99°
there we have the answer!
