Can You Set Up A System Of Linear Equations To Represent The Two Angles?
Two angles are supplementary of each other. Twice one angle is equal to the other angle minus the product of six and eight.

X + y = 180, So x = 180 - y
2 x = y - (8*6)
2 x = y - 48
So y = 2 x +48
So the two linear equations representing the two angles are -
x = 180 - y
y = 2 x + 48
Now we can substitute either value into each equation and find the value of x & y
So let's substitute the value of y in the first equation
x = 180 - ( 2x + 48)
x = 180 - 2x - 48
3 x = 132
x = 44
Now find the value of y substituting the value of x in the second equation
y = 2 x + 48
So y = 136
