x+x+44=180
2x=180-44
2x=136
x=136/2
x=83 degrees for the smaller angle.
180-83=97 degrees is the larger angle.
Proof:
83+97=180
180=180

The measure of an angle is 44 more than the measure of its supplement. Find the angle.

Let the measure of the angle be A

Since the angle is 44 more than the measure of its supplement, then we'll have: A = (180 - A) + 44

A = 180 - A + 44

2A = 224

A = 224%2F2. Therefore, the angle, or A = highlight_green%28112%5Eo%29
