Question

If six times the measure of an angle is decreased by 21°, the result is the same as when four times the measure of the angle is increased by 11°. What is the measure of the angle?

Answer 1

16 degrees

Explanation:

let the angle be 'x'

so, we can equate the given statements as:

6x - 21 = 4x + 11

6x - 4x = 11 + 21

2x = 32

x = 32/2 = 16 degrees
