Question

a linear pair a- b= 80° then values of a, b are​

Answer 1

Hello mate

Answer :

a= 130
b= 50

Hope it helps

Answer 2

a + b = 180 (liner pair) -- (1)

a - b = 80 (Given) -- (2)

So by adding 1 and 2 because both apply for linear pair --

[a+b] + [a - b] = 180 + 80 -- From 1 and 2

a+a + b-B = 260

2a = 260

a = 130

So, b = 180 - 130 (Simple equation for linear pair b = 180 - a)

b = 50

Hence, a = 130 and b = 50
