To find the value of x, we can set the measure of the two vertical angles equal to each other:

9x + 3 = 12x - 6

Next, we can solve for x by subtracting 9x from both sides and adding 6 to both sides:

9x - 9x + 3 + 6 = 12x - 9x - 6 + 6
9 = 3x

Finally, dividing both sides by 3, we find:

9/3 = 3x/3
3 = x

So x = 3.

Therefore, the value of x is 3.
