To find the value of \( x \) using the expressions for angles \( A \) and \( B \), we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is \( 180^\circ \).
Given:
\[
A = 3x + 51
\]
\[
B = 6x - 15
\]
Assuming \( C \) is the third angle, we can express the triangle angle sum as:
\[
A + B + C = 180
\]
However, we need more information about angle \( C \) to proceed directly. But if we assume that \( A \) and \( B \) are the only angles we need to consider, meaning we'll find \( A \) and \( B \) that lead to valid angle measures.
For the sake of simplicity, let's set \( C \) to \( 0\) just to find the theoretical angle measures for \( A \) and \( B \):
Then we can equate the sum of \( A \) and \( B \) to \( 180^\circ \):
\[
(3x + 51) + (6x - 15) = 180
\]
Combine like terms:
\[
3x + 51 + 6x - 15 = 180
\]
\[
9x + 36 = 180
\]
Now, isolate \( x \):
\[
9x = 180 - 36
\]
\[
9x = 144
\]
\[
x = \frac{144}{9} = 16
\]
So, the value of \( x \) is:
\[
\boxed{16}
\]
You can also substitute \( x = 16 \) back into the expressions for \( A \) and \( B \) to check:
1. \( A = 3(16) + 51 = 48 + 51 = 99 \)
2. \( B = 6(16) - 15 = 96 - 15 = 81 \)
Check the sum:
\[
99 + 81 = 180
\]
This confirms that the calculations are correct, and the value of \( x \) is indeed \( \boxed{16} \).
Given:
\[
A = 3x + 51
\]
\[
B = 6x - 15
\]

I tried that, and it is saying that "16," is wrong.

Let's revisit the calculations step by step to ensure we find the correct value of \( x \).
Given:
\[ A = 3x + 51 \]
\[ B = 6x - 15 \]
For angles of a triangle, we know:
\[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \]
Assuming \( C \) is positive and based solely on \( A \) and \( B \):
1. Set the equation for angles \( A \) and \( B \):
\[
A + B = 180^\circ
\]
Thus we can write:
\[
(3x + 51) + (6x - 15) = 180
\]
2. Combine the terms:
\[
3x + 51 + 6x - 15 = 180
\]
Combine like terms:
\[
9x + 36 = 180
\]
3. Isolate \( x \):
\[
9x = 180 - 36
\]
\[
9x = 144
\]
\[
x = \frac{144}{9} = 16
\]
The calculations above appear correct, but let’s now consider if there might be any constraints on angles \( A \) and \( B \) themselves.
Since both \( A \) and \( B \) must be positive angles in any triangle:
1. Set up inequalities for \( A \) and \( B \):
- For \( A > 0 \):
\[
3x + 51 > 0 \\
3x > -51 \\
x > -17
\]
- For \( B > 0 \):
\[
6x - 15 > 0 \\
6x > 15 \\
x > 2.5
\]
Given \( x > 2.5 \) provides a stronger lower bound than \( x > -17 \).
2. We found \( x = 16 \) meets that condition. Let’s calculate \( A \) and \( B \) again:
- Substitute \( x = 16 \):
- \( A = 3(16) + 51 = 48 + 51 = 99 \)
- \( B = 6(16) - 15 = 96 - 15 = 81 \)
Check the angles:
\[
A + B = 99 + 81 = 180
\]
With all checks confirming that \( x = 16 \) is correct in all valid ranges.
If the answer is still considered wrong, could you please check if there are additional constraints or properties involved in the problem? If angle \( C \) or any other considerations were supposed to be included, it might affect the final result.

Thank you for the clarification! In a right triangle, one angle is always \( 90^\circ \). Therefore, the sum of the other two angles \( A \) and \( B \) must equal \( 90^\circ \).
Given the expressions for the angles:
\[
A = 3x + 51
\]
\[
B = 6x - 15
\]
Setting up the equation based on the property of a right triangle, we have:
\[
A + B = 90^\circ
\]
Substituting for \( A \) and \( B \):
\[
(3x + 51) + (6x - 15) = 90
\]
Now, combine the terms:
\[
3x + 51 + 6x - 15 = 90
\]
\[
(3x + 6x) + (51 - 15) = 90 \\
9x + 36 = 90
\]
Next, isolate \( x \):
\[
9x = 90 - 36
\]
\[
9x = 54
\]
\[
x = \frac{54}{9} = 6
\]
Therefore, the value of \( x \) is:
\[
\boxed{6}
\]
### Verification
Now, let's verify the values of angles \( A \) and \( B \) using \( x = 6 \):
1. Calculate \( A \):
\[
A = 3(6) + 51 = 18 + 51 = 69
\]
2. Calculate \( B \):
\[
B = 6(6) - 15 = 36 - 15 = 21
\]
Now check if \( A + B = 90^\circ \):
\[
69 + 21 = 90
\]
Both angles sum to \( 90^\circ \), confirming our solution. Thus, the value of \( x \) is indeed \( \boxed{6} \).
Given the expressions for the angles:
\[
A = 3x + 51
\]
\[
B = 6x - 15
\]
Setting up the equation based on the property of a right triangle, we have:
\[
A + B = 90^\circ
\]
Substituting for \( A \) and \( B \):
\[
(3x + 51) + (6x - 15) = 90
\]
Now, combine the terms:
\[
3x + 51 + 6x - 15 = 90
\]
\[
(3x + 6x) + (51 - 15) = 90 \\
9x + 36 = 90
\]
Next, isolate \( x \):
\[
9x = 90 - 36
\]
\[
9x = 54
\]
\[
x = \frac{54}{9} = 6
\]
Therefore, the value of \( x \) is:
\[
\boxed{6}
\]

2. Calculate \( B \):
\[
B = 6(6) - 15 = 36 - 15 = 21
\]
Now check if \( A + B = 90^\circ \):
\[
69 + 21 = 90
\]
Both angles sum to \( 90^\circ \), confirming our solution. Thus, the value of \( x \) is indeed \( \boxed{6} \).
