are they angles?

OpenStudy (cookiemonster2412):

yes

OpenStudy (hoblos):

in a parallelogram opposite angles are equal ---> 8a-10=5b+6 the sum of two adjacent angles is 180 ---> 4a-8 +8a-10 = 180 so now you have a system of two equations, can you solve it ?

OpenStudy (cookiemonster2412):

yes thank you

OpenStudy (hoblos):

any time :)
