A=48

Explanation

Two Angles are Supplementary when they add up to 180 degrees

Step 1

if A and B are supplementary angles, then

[tex]A+B=180[/tex]

Let

A=4x-16

B=8x+4

Step 2

replace,

[tex]\begin{gathered} A+B=180 \\ 4x-16+8x+4=180 \\ 12x-12=180 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 3

solve for x

[tex]\begin{gathered} 12x-12=180 \\ 12x=180+12 \\ 12x=192 \\ x=\frac{192}{12} \\ x=16 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 4

finally, replace the value of x= 16 to find A

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=4x-16 \\ A=4(16)-16 \\ A=64-16 \\ A=48 \end{gathered}[/tex]
