A = 4n + 11

b=2a

a+b=195

Replace b with 2a as given by the second equation.

a+2a=195

3a=195

a=65

Because b is twice a, b=130.

You may have made a typo when you said "the sum of the measure of the angle is 195." The sum of the measure of the angle and what? A sum is between two values not just one.
