the measure of an angles' supplement is 44 less than the measure of the angle find the measure of the angle and its supplement
------
Let the angle be "x".
Then the supplement is "180-x".
--------------------------------
Equation:
supplement = angle - 44
180-x = x - 44
2x = 224
x = 112 degrees (the angle)
180-x = 68 degrees (the supplement)
