Answer:

B. 15 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers

x - y = 8

x = y + 8

2x + 3y = 51

2y + 16 + 3y = 51

5y = 35

y = 7

x = 15

An angle measures 111.4° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
fomenos

The measure of the supplementary angles are 34.3 and 145.7 degrees.

<h3>What are supplementary angles?</h3>

Supplementary angles are those angles that sum up to 180 degrees.

In other words, two angles are Supplementary when they add up to 180 degrees.

Therefore, the angles measures 111.4° more than the measure of it's supplementary angle.

Hence,

let

x = measure of the other angle

x + x + 111.4 = 180

2x + 111.4 = 180

subtract 111.4 from both sides

2x + 111.4 - 111.4 = 180 - 111.4

2x = 68.6

divide both sides by 2

x = 68.6 / 2

x = 34.3

Other angle  = 34.3 + 111.4 = 145.7°

Therefore, the measure of the supplementary angles are 34.3 and 145.7 degrees.
