Question 936937: Please help me solve my homework: if angle a is 8 degrees less than three times angle b. If placed side by side they form a straight angle, find each angle Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a = 3b - 8
we are given that
a + b = 180
substitute for a
3b -8 +b = 180
4b = 188
b = 47 degrees and
a = 180 - 47 = 133 degrees
therefore we have
angle a is 133 degrees and angle b is 47 degrees
