To find an equation for the two adjacent angles described, we can denote the first angle as \((x + a)^\circ\) and the second angle as \((x - b)^\circ\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are some constants. Since these angles are adjacent, we can sum them to equal a specific angle \(C\) (which could be \(180^\circ\) if they are supplementary).

The equation for the two angles would then be:

\[ (x + a) + (x - b) = C \]

You can simplify it as follows:

\[ x + a + x - b = C \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 2x + (a - b) = C \]

So, the specific equation would depend on the constants \(a\) and \(b\) and the angle \(C\). If, for example, they were supplementary and \(C = 180\), the equation would be:

\[ 2x + (a - b) = 180 \]

You would need the specific values of \(a\), \(b\), and \(C\) to complete this equation.
