The measure of an angle's supplement is 44 less than the measure of the angle. Find the mesure of the angle and the supplement.
---------------------------------------------------
Let the measure of "the angle" be "x":
The measure of its supplement is "180-x":
-----
Equation:
180-x = x - 44
2x = 224
x = 112 degrees
-----------
180-x = 68 degrees
