<PRE><B>Question 335527</B>
A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees. 

Let A = one angle

Let B = the other angle

A + B = 180...EQUATION 1

A = 8B........EQUATION 2

We have two equations in two unknowns.

Can you take it from here?

HINT: Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations.
