Angle E and Angle T should be equal.
So, angle E = angle T = 3x + 3.
Sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 degree.
So,
angle S + angle E + angle T = 180;
or, (4x-6) + (3x+3) + (3x+3) = 180;
or, 10x = 180;
or, x = 18 degree.
Put the value of x in the provided equations and you get all the angle values.
