### Geometry Problem - Determining the Value of x

#### Problem Statement:
In the diagram, \( \overline{OC} \perp \overline{AD} \). If \( m\angle AOB = (3x)^\circ \) and \( m\angle BOC = (5x - 6)^\circ \), then what is the value of \( x \)?

#### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram consists of two intersecting lines:
- Line \( \overline{OC} \) intersects line \( \overline{AD} \) at point \( O \).
- Point \( A \) lies on line \( \overline{AD} \) to the left of \( O \).
- Point \( B \) lies on line \( \overline{OC} \) above and to the left of \( O \).
- Point \( C \) lies on line \( \overline{OC} \) directly above \( O \).
- Point \( D \) lies on line \( \overline{AD} \) to the right of \( O \).

The angles in question are:
- \( m\angle AOB = (3x)^\circ \)
- \( m\angle BOC = (5x - 6)^\circ \)

#### Given Options:
- 3
- 12
- 23.25
- 54

#### Correct Answer:
The correct value of \( x \) is highlighted as **12**.
