To solve for \( x \) in this problem, we will use the concept of alternate interior angles. The diagram shows two parallel lines \( m \) and \( n \) cut by a transversal. 

The angles on the opposite sides of the transversal but inside the parallel lines are equal because they are alternate interior angles.

From the diagram:
\[
(6x - 9)^\circ = (3x + 10)^\circ
\]

Since these angles are equal:
\[
6x - 9 = 3x + 10
\]

Now, solve for \( x \):

1. Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides:
\[
3x - 9 = 10
\]

2. Add 9 to both sides:
\[
3x = 19
\]

3. Divide by 3:
\[
x = \frac{19}{3} \approx 6.33
\]

Thus, \( x \approx 6.33 \).
