Question 828483: two angles are supplementary. If the measure of the larger angle is 44 degree more than the measure of the smaller angle, find the measure of the smaller angle

Let x = the smaller angle
then
(x+44) = the larger angle
Supplementary means:
(x+44) + x = 180
2x = 180 - 44
2x = 136
x = 136/2
x = 68 degrees is the smaller angle

Check this
68 + 44 = 112 is the large angl
112 + 68 = 180
