The figure shows a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD.

  1. In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles sum to 180∘180^\circ.

    Angles D and B are opposite.

    ∠D+∠B=180∘\angle D + \angle B = 180^\circ
  2. Substitute the given expressions for ∠D\angle D and ∠B\angle B from the image.

    (x∘+60∘)+6x∘=180∘(x^\circ + 60^\circ) + 6x^\circ = 180^\circ
  3. Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.

    7x∘+60∘=180∘7x^\circ + 60^\circ = 180^\circ
  4. Subtract 60∘60^\circ from both sides of the equation.

    7x∘=180∘−60∘7x^\circ = 180^\circ - 60^\circ 7x∘=120∘7x^\circ = 120^\circ
  5. Divide by 7 to solve for xx.

    x=1207x = \frac{120}{7} x≈17.1428x \approx 17.1428

    The value of xx is 1207\boxed{\frac{120}{7}} or approximately 17.14\boxed{17.14}.
