1. Problem Description

The problem requires us to find the value of kk given that the sum of two angles, (9k+6)(9k+6)^\circ and (4k+5)(4k+5)^\circ, forms a straight angle. A straight angle measures 180180^\circ.

2. Solution Steps

The sum of the two angles must equal 180 degrees. So we have:
(9k+6)+(4k+5)=180(9k+6) + (4k+5) = 180
Combine like terms:
13k+11=18013k + 11 = 180
Subtract 11 from both sides:
13k=1801113k = 180 - 11
13k=16913k = 169
Divide both sides by 13:
k=16913k = \frac{169}{13}
k=13k = 13

3. Final Answer

k=13k = 13
