Angles A and B are supplementary angles and angle A is 2⁰ more than 4 times angle B. Find the measures of angle A and angle B.

Step 1. Supplementary angles means two angles add up to 180 degrees.

Step 2. Let A be one angle.

Step 3. Let B=180-A be its supplementary angle.

Step 4. Let A=2+4(180-A) since angle A is 2 degrees more than 4 times angle B=180-A.

Done!



With A=144.4 then B=180-144.4=35.6 so check if equation in Step 4 is true... 144.4=2+4(35.6)...which it is.

Step 5. ANSWER: Angle A is 144.4 degrees and angle B is 35.6 degrees.

I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
