1. Define the angles: Let the first angle bex 3x - 8
2. Set up the equation for supplementary angles:x + (3x - 8) = 180
3. Simplify the equation:4x - 8 = 180
4. Solve forx
- Add 8 to both sides:4x = 188
- Divide by 4:x = 47
5. Find the second angle:3x - 8 = 3(47) - 8 = 141 - 8 = 133
6. Conclusion: The angles are 47 degrees and 133 degrees.
