Answer:

A=73

B=17

Explanation:

From above, you can see that A+B=90

So I can add my two angles together and have it equal to 90

( 5 x + 8 ) + ( x + 4 ) = 90

5 x + 8 + x + 4=90

6 x + 12 = 90

6 x = 90 − 12

6 x = 78

x = 13

So A = 5 x + 8=5 ( 13 ) + 8 = 65 + 8 = 73

and B = x + 4 = 13 + 4 = 17

Just to make sure you are correct, add your A and B together and they should equal to 90

A + B = 73 + 17 = 90

Hope This Helps You :)
