Two angles are said to be supplement when their measure add up to 180 degrees.

Assume that the angle we are looking for is a and its supplement is s (I used s instead of x).

a + s = 180
a = 180 - s ......> equation I

We know that <span>the measure of the angle is eight times greater than its supplement.
This means that:
a = 8s ......> equation II

Substitute by equation II in equation I to get s as follows:
180 - s = 8s
180 = 9s
s = 20 degrees

Substitute in equation I to get the measure of the angle as follows:
a = 180 - s = 180 - 20 = 160 degrees

Based on these calculations:
The measure of the angle is 160 degrees
The measure of its supplement is 20 degrees</span>

Easy I guess ..
I ll try to help ..
Here we go ..
The cards you have is N
The cards he has is n
<span>you have 3 times the number of cards he has
This means N=3n
</span><span> you only have 80 more football cards then he does
This means N=n+80
But we already know that N=3n
So 3n=n+80
which is 2n=80
n=40
So your friend has only 40 cards and you have 3*40= 120 cards

Best luck
