x+y=180^o   x=(y/8)  (y/8)+y=180^o    ((9y)/8)=180^o    y=160^o     x=20^o
$${x}+{y}=\mathrm{180}^{{o}} \\ $$$${x}=\frac{{y}}{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$$$\frac{{y}}{\mathrm{8}}+{y}=\mathrm{180}^{{o}} \: \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{9}{y}}{\mathrm{8}}=\mathrm{180}^{{o}} \:\:\:{y}=\mathrm{160}^{{o}} \:\:\:\:{x}=\mathrm{20}^{{o}} \\ $$
