a = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles share a common side terminal side, so they are supplementary angles. This also means they add up to 180º.

8a + (5a - 2) = 180

Combine like terms.

13a - 2 = 180

13a = 182

Divide both sides by 13.

a = 14

This is your answer.

Check your work by plugging "a" back into the original equation.

8a + (5a - 2) = 180

8(14) + [5(14) - 2] = 180

112 + (70 - 2) = 180

112 + 68 = 180

180 = 180

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!
