Answer:

The two angles are 10 degrees and 170 degrees.

Explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.

Let the angle be called "x", and the supplementary angle be called "180-x"

Converting words to math: x-160=180-x

Add x to both sides: 2x-160=180

Simplify: 2x=20

Divide by 2: x=10

Let me know if this helps!
