Angle A and angle B are supplementary angles and angle A is 20 degrees less than four times angle B. Find the measure of angle A and Angle B.

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

Step 2. So, B=180-A since B is supplementary to A

Step 3. Let 4B=4(180-A) is four times the angle B.

Step 4. A=4(180-A)-20 since angle A is less than four times angle B.

Step 5. Solving yields the following steps

Adding 4A to both sides of the equation

Step 6. Divide by 5 to both sides of the equation

then and note ...true statement.

Step 7. The angles are A=140 and B=40

I hope the above steps were helpful.
