The measure of ∠A is 35° more than three times the measure of ∠B. The sum of their measures is 135°. Find m ∠A and m ∠B.

Question

The measure of ∠A is 35° more than three times the measure of ∠B. The sum of their measures is 135°. Find m ∠A and m ∠B.

wolf1728 · Answer

A = 35°
B= 3*A = 105° 
A + B = 140°
I get the sum as 140
Also, you want 'm' of each angle - do you mean slope?

They want the sum of the measurements to equal 135 degrees

wolf1728 · Answer

Well, if A is 35 and B is 3 times A then their sum will always be 140

anonymous · Answer

A isn't 35, A is 35 degrees MORE than 3 times the measure of B

wolf1728 · Answer

Sorry I misread that.
A = (3 * B) + 35
A + B =135

135 -B = 3B + 35
100 = 4B
B = 25
A = 110
