SOLUTION: Two angles are supplementary. If the measure of one angle is 46 more than the measure of the other angle, find the measure of the two angles.

Let the two angles be x and y such that x>y.
Since they are supplementary angles, therefore x + y = 180 ---------(1)
Also, x = y + 46 ------------ (2)
Plugging the value of x from equation (2) into equation (1), we get:
y + 46 + y = 180
2y + 46 =180
2y = 180 - 46
2y = 134
y = 67
Plugging back the value of y in equation (1),
x = 67 + 46
x = 113
Hence, the two angles are 67' and 113'

Hope this helps~!
