Answer:

a = 32

Explanation:

Step 1: Understand the question

The 2 angles inside are supplamentary angles which means they add up to 180

Step 2: Set up the equation

If the 2 angles added up equal to 180 you can create an equation that states


(2a+7)+109=180

Step 3: Solve for the variable


(2a+7)+109=180\\2a+7+109\\2a+116=180\\2a=64\\(2a)/(2)=(64)/(2)\\a=32

Step 4: State your answer

Therefore the value of "a" is 32
