if the measure of angle five is 12x-3 and the measure of angle six is 10x+9, what is the measure of angle 4?

Question

No other information is given on the problem but I tried making the equations equal then solving and I got too many degrees for a triangle

Answer 1

Are Angles 4, 5, and 6 interior angles of the same triangle?? Do we know if it is an isosceles triangle????

It appears that there is not enough information, since you can set up ONE equation with TWO unknowns and that is unsolvable.

y: measure of Angle 4

y + Measure of Angle 5 + Measure of Angle 6 = 180

y + (12x — 3) + (10x + 9) = 180

y + 22x + 6 = 180

22x + y — 176 = 0 Cannot be solved. Too little information.
