Equation practice with angles

Problem

The angle measurements in the diagram are represented by the following expressions.
start color #11accd, angle, A, end color #11accd, equals, start color #11accd, 5, x, minus, 15, degrees, end color #11accd start color #28ae7b, angle, B, end color #28ae7b, equals, start color #28ae7b, 2, x, plus, 21, degrees, end color #28ae7b
Solve for x and then find the measure of start color #1fab54, angle, B, end color #1fab54:
start color #1fab54, angle, B, end color #1fab54, equals
  • Your answer should be
  • an integer, like 6
  • a simplified proper fraction, like 3, slash, 5
  • a simplified improper fraction, like 7, slash, 4
  • a mixed number, like 1, space, 3, slash, 4
  • an exact decimal, like 0, point, 75
  • a multiple of pi, like 12, space, start text, p, i, end text or 2, slash, 3, space, start text, p, i, end text
degrees
