    (2x + 10) ° PLUS (8x + 10) ° = 180

    10x + 20° = 180

    10x = 160

    x = 16

    The larger angle is (8x + 10) °

    When we substitute x = 16 we get:

    138°

    D

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Supplementary angles sum to 180°, hence

    2x + 10 + 8x + 10 = 180

    10x + 20 = 180 (subtract 20 from both sides)

    10x = 160 (divide both sides by 10)

    x = 16

    larger angle = 8x + 10 = (8 * 16) + 10 = 128 + 10 = 138°
