"2. If a wagon wheel had 10 more spokes, the angle between spokes would decrease by 6 degrees. How many spokes does the wheel have?"

The wheel has more than 10 spokes. 360 degrees divided by x number of spokes is the central angle.

using c=central angle.

angle decreased by 6 degrees. We should be able to solve this equation for c and use the result to find x in the first equation.
