Let x an y be the angles (x>y).
Then x+y = 180
and x-y = 102.
By adding them together, we get 2x = 282 so x=141 and y = 180-141 = 39.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I see the condition written so INACCURATELY, every wish/desire to work for such person disappears instantly/momentarily.

Notice. The combination of words "simultaneous equation" is NEVER used (because it makes no sense).
         Only "simultaneous equations", and it can not be differently.
