To find the measures of the two angles that make up the straight line, you can set up an equation by adding the two angle measures and setting it equal to 180 degrees.

(2x+3) + (x-6) = 180

Combine like terms:

3x - 3 = 180

Add 3 to both sides:

3x = 183

Divide by 3:

x = 61

Now substitute x back into the original equations to find the angle measures:

First angle: (2x+3) = (2(61)+3) = 125 degrees
Second angle: (x-6) = (61-6) = 55 degrees

Therefore, the measures of the two angles that make up the straight line are 125 degrees and 55 degrees.
