The problem statement tells you ∠MLK is 61°, so ∠LMK = 180° -68° -61° = 51°. Since a tangent is always perpendicular to a radius, triangles LJM and LJK are right triangles.

Trigonometry tells you ...
  tangent = opposite / adjacent
so you can write two relations involving LJ.
  tan(51°) = LJ/JM
  tan(68°) = LJ/JK
The second equation can be used to write an expression for LJ that can be substituted into the first equation.
  LJ = JK*tan(68°) = 3*tan(68°)
Substituting, we have
  tan(51°) = 3*tan(68°)/JM
Multiplying by JM/tan(51°), we get
  JM = 3*tan(68°)/tan(51°)
  JM ≈ 6.01

The radius of circle M is about 6.01.
