The sum of the two adjacent angles is 180°.
Therefore, we can set up the equation:
(2x + 3) + (x - 6) = 180
Simplify by combining like terms:
3x - 3 = 180
Add 3 to both sides:
3x = 183
Divide by 3 on both sides to solve for x:
x = 61
So, the two adjacent angles are:
(2(61) + 3) = 125° and (61 - 6) = 55°
Therefore, we can set up the equation:
(2x + 3) + (x - 6) = 180
Simplify by combining like terms:
3x - 3 = 180
Add 3 to both sides:
3x = 183
Divide by 3 on both sides to solve for x:
x = 61
So, the two adjacent angles are:
(2(61) + 3) = 125° and (61 - 6) = 55°
