Answer:

∠A = ∠B = 80°

Explanation:

The angles are corresponding angles where a transversal crosses parallel lines, so are congruent. That means ...

∠A = ∠B

8x -8° = 5x +25° . . . . . substitute the given expressions

3x = 33° . . . . . . . . . . . . add 8°-5x

x = 11° . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Then the angles are ...

8·11° -8° = 80°
