angle A and angle B are supplementary angles. Find the measures of each angle if angle is 30 degrees greater than angle B.
-------------------------------------------------------------

A = B + 30°,
A + B = 180°.

Substitute A from (1) into (2). You will get

B + 30 + B = 180  --->  2B + 30 = 180  ---> 2B = 180 - 30 = 150  --->  B =  = 75°.

Answer. B = 75°, A = B + 30° = 75° + 30° = 105°.
