the measure of one of two adjacent angles is 116 degree more than thrice the other . find the measure of both angles if this sum is 140 degree
------
Equation:
a + b = 140 degrees
a = 3b+116
-----
Substitute for "a" and solve for "b":
3b+116 + b = 140
4b = 24
b = 6 degrees
----
a + b = 140
a + 6 = 140
a = 134 degrees
