If they are supplementary, then angle HDA +angle ADR =180 degrees. So we have the equation: 7x-3%2B2x-6=180



7x-3%2B2x-6=180 Start with the given equation



9x-9=180 Combine like terms on the left side


9x=180%2B9Add 9 to both sides


9x=189 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%28189%29%2F%289%29 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x



x=21 Divide

Answer:
So our answer is x=21
