SOLUTION: Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of one angles is 8 times the measure of te other angle. Find the measure of each angle

Question 335527: Two angles form a linear pair. The measure of one angles is 8 times the measure of te other angle. Find the measure of each angle

Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.
Let A = one angle
Let B = the other angle
A + B = 180...EQUATION 1
A = 8B........EQUATION 2
We have two equations in two unknowns.
Can you take it from here?
HINT: Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations.
