The value of angle a will be 33°.
It should be noted that when we've parallel lines, then the angles will be equal. In this case, the value of angle a will be equal to that of angle b and this will be:
5x + 8 = 8x - 7.
Collect like terms .
8x - 5x = 8 + 7
3x = 15
Divide both side by 3
3x/3 = 15/3
x = 5
Therefore, the value of angle a will be:
= 5x + 8
= 5(5) + 8
= 25° + 8°
= 33°
The measure of angle a is 33°.
