    Hello

    Given angle a and b are in linear pair.

    So, 

    a + b = 180

    a = 180 - b

     

    Also, given 

    a - 2b = 30

    Putting a = 180 - b

    180 - b - 2b = 30

    180 - 3b = 30

    180 - 30 = 3b

    150 = 3b

    3b = 150

    b = 150/3

    b = 50

     

    Now,

    a = 180 - b

    Putting b = 50

    a = 180 - 50

    a = 130

     

    So, a = 130, b = 50
