A linear pair of angles are supplementary by definition of linear pair. Therefore the sum of their measures is 
by definition of supplementary.
Let 
represent the measure of the larger of the linear pair. Then 
represents the measure of the smaller of the linear pair.
As stated, the sum is
So solve for
