If POR is a line,
Then ‹POR = 180°
→ ‹POQ + ‹POQ = 180°
According To Question,
(3a + 5)° + (2a - 25)° = 180°
→ 3a + 2a + 5 + (-25) = 180°
→ 5a + (-20) or 5a - 20 = 180°
→ 5a = (180 + 20)°
→ 5a = 200°
→ a = (200/5)°
→ a = 40°
Therefore,
a = 40°
The angles are:
→ (3a + 5) = (3 × 40) + 5 = 125°
→ (2a - 25) = (2 × 40) - 25 = 55°
