first angle : x
the angle's supplement :180-x
"The measure of an angle's supplement is 44 less than the measure of the angle"
-translated into "math"
180-x = x - 44
180 + 44 = 2x
2x = 224
x = 112 , so its supplement is 180-112 = 68
check :
does 112 and 68 add up to 180 ? YES
is 112 greater than 68 by 44 ? YES!
The measure of an angle's supplement is 44 less than the measure of the angle. Find the measure of the angle and its supplement.
