The value of angle a will be 33°.
It should be noted that when we've parallel lines, then the angles will be equal. In this case, the value of angle a will be equal to that of angle b and this will be:
5x + 8 = 8x - 7.
Collect like terms .
8x - 5x = 8 + 7
3x = 15
Divide both side by 3
3x/3 = 15/3
x = 5
Therefore, the value of angle a will be:
= 5x + 8
= 5(5) + 8
= 25° + 8°
= 33°
The measure of angle a is 33°.

If you follow the order of pemdas the answer would be (-24)
To do this you first have to set this up vertically.
First you multiply through with the 2 (44×2=88). Then next, you have to multiply through with the 1 (44×1=44) But since this is the second line, you have to add the 0 to the end (440).
Now you simply add 88+440=528.
Elimination:
7x - 3y = 20
5x + 3y = 16
(add)
12x = 36
÷ 12
x = 3
(5 × 3) + 3y = 16
15 + 3y = 16
- 15
3y = 1
÷ 3
y = 1/3
Substitution:
5x + 3y = 16
- 3y
5x = 16 - 3y
÷ 5
x = 3.2 - 0.6y
5(3.2 - 0.6y) + 3y = 16
16 - 3y + 3y = 16
16 = 16
- 16
6y = 0
÷ 6
y = 0
Sorry the substitution messed up for some reason, I'll fix it after I've answered the other question

Answer: b = 17</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
The line must go through the point (5,2) which means x = 5 and y = 2 pair up together.
We'll plug these x and y values into the equation and solve for b.
y = -3x+b
2 = -3(5)+b
2 = -15+b
2+15 = b
17 = b
b = 17
The equation y = -3x+b turns into y = -3x+17
