Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows three rays from a common vertex with labeled angles. The first ray is inclined to the horizontal left of the common vertex with an arrow at the end. The second ray is inclined to the horizontal right of the common vertex with an arrow at the end. The third ray is to the top right of the common vertex with an arrow at the end. It is between the other two rays. The angle between the first and the third rays is labeled as left parenthesis 2 x plus 3 right parenthesis degrees. The angle between the second and third rays is labeled as left parenthesis x minus 6 right parenthesis degrees.
What is an equation for these two adjacent angles?

(2x + 3)° + (x - 6)° = __°
(2x + 3)° + (x - 6)° = __°
The value that should go in the last __° depends on the specific question or information given in the problem or image.
(2x + 3)° + (x - 6)° = 180°
This is because the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
