n =  22

Solution:

α=β \alpha = \beta

360∘60m+360∘k=360∘12m60\dfrac{ 360^\circ }{ 60} m + 360^\circ k = \dfrac{ 360^\circ }{ 12}\dfrac{ m}{ 60}

Following knowledge from mathematics are needed to solve this word math problem:

Do you solve Diofant problems and looking for a calculator of Diofant integer equations? Do you have a linear equation or system of equations and looking for its solution? Or do you have quadratic equation? Do you want to convert length units? Try conversion angle units angle degrees, minutes, seconds, radians, grads.
