.
The sum of interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees.

You, probably, know it.


Therefore, for your triangle, 54 + 6x + 6x = 180 degs,  or


54 + 12x = 180,   or   12x = 180 - 54  --->  12x = 126  --->  x = 126%2F12 = 10.5 degrees.

If the other 2 angles TOTAL 6x, then x = 21
If the other 2 angles are 6x each, then x = 10.5
