Answer:

The value of x is 8

The measure of angle A is 42 degrees

A and B are consecutive interior angles

Explanation:

Since A and B are consecutive interior angles you combine both equations and have it equal to 180

16x+10+5x+2=180

21x+12=180

21x=168

x=8

Plug 8 into the equation across from A

16(8) +10

128+10

138 degrees

Since angle A is supplementary you do 180-138= 42 degrees
