The sum of two adjacent angles forming a straight line is 180°. Therefore, we can set up the equation: (2x + 3) + (x - 6) = 180.
Simplifying the equation:
3x - 3 = 180
3x = 183
x = 61
Now, we can substitute the value of x back into the expressions for the angles:
Angle 1: 2x + 3 = 2(61) + 3 = 125°
Angle 2: x - 6 = 61 - 6 = 55°
Therefore, the measures of the two angles that make up the straight line are 125° and 55°. The correct answer is: 125° and 55°.
