Your question is not complete so there are two answers:

1.

The measure of one angle is 13 times the measure of the other angle.

Answer:

One angle is 167.14° and the other is 12.86°

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles of a linear pair create a straight angle therefore they add to 180°

- the other angle

(13x)° - one angle

x + 13x = 180

14x = 180

÷14 ÷14

x ≈ 12.86

13x = 13•12.86 = 167.14

Checking: 12.96+167.14 = 180

2.

The measure of one angle is 13 more than the measure of the other angle.

Answer:

One angle is 96.5° and the other is 83.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles of a linear pair create a straight angle therefore they add to 180°

- the other angle

(x+13)° - one angle

x + x + 13 = 180

-13 -13

2x = 167

÷14 ÷14

x ≈ 83.5

x+13 = 83.5 + 13 = 96.5

Checking: 83.5+96.5 = 180
