Question 784265: Please help!
angle A and angle B are supplementary. Find the measurements of angles A and B.
Given:
A = 3/8x + 50
B = x + 32

Since supplementary angles are pairs of angles that add up to 180 degrees, then 3/8x + 50 + x + 32 = 180. Solve for x, get x = 71 3/11
Therefore A = 2352/88 + 50 = 26.7 +50 = 76.7 degrees, B = 103.3 degrees
