m<1 = 117 and m<2 = 6x – 12.

2/25??

What is this m<1, does that mean slope of the first?

m<1 and m<2 would be supplementary.

117 + (6x - 12) = 180

Right......but did you checkout my attachment?

Yes.  I made that statement based on what I saw in your attachment.

may you help me out with it?

That was my help.  You'd solve for x in that equation
  117 + (6x - 12) = 180

  117 + (6x - 12) = 180
  (117 - 12) + 6x = 180
  105 + 6x = 180
  6x = 75
  x = 75 / 6                       greatest common factor of 75 and 6 is 3
  x = 25(3) / 2(3)
     = 25/2
