Answer:
x=41
y=139
Explanation:
x+y = 180 since they form a straight line
y is 3x +16
y = 3x +16
Replace y in the first equation
x+3x +16 = 180
Combine like terms
4x +16 = 180
Subtract 16 from each side
4x+16-16 =180-16
4x =164
Divide each side by 4
4x/4 =164/4
x = 41
y = 3x +16
y = 3*41 +16 = 123+16 =139
