Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. Right?

If one angle is 26 degrees more than the other:
Let x = one angle
Let x+26 = the other angle
Since their sum is 180, our equation becomes:

Now solve for x to find the first angle.
Add 26 to find the second angle.

I'll let you take it from here. :)
