If m angle GEF is thirteen less than five times m angle DEG and m angle DEF = 149º, find m angle GEF.

Answer:
122*
122 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
m∠GEF is 13 less than 5 times m∠DEG and m∠DEF = 149*
Solution:
As per given data,
m∠GEF = 5m∠DEG - 13* … (i)
m∠DEF = 149* -> m∠GEF + m∠DEG = 149* .. (ii)
Substituting value of m∠GEF in (ii)
We get,
(5m ∠DEG - 13*) + m∠DEG = 149*
6m ∠DEG - 13* = 149*
6m ∠DEG = 149* + 13* = 162*
m∠DEG = * = 27*
Substituting value of m∠DEG in (i)
We get,
m∠GEF = 5(27*) - 13*
m∠GEF = 135* - 13* = 122*
def=149
gef=5x-13
deg=x
5x-13+x=149
6x=162
x=27
plug the x back in
5(27)-13=122
