HELP I would appreciate if you could show work please!!!

a) 137.9°

b) 12.2° (please refer to explanation because I didn't know what to round to)

Step-by-step explanation:

1a) A supplementary angle will equal 180°, so you must subtract 42.1 from 180

180-42.1 = 137.9

1b) A complementary angle will equal 90°, so you need to use the expression given and add an x for the other part of 90°

8x-20+x = 90

9x-20=90

9x=110

x=12.2

44

step-by-step explanation:

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
