Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees.
Let's call the smaller angle , x.
The bigger angle is 44 degrees more than the measure of the smaller angle. So, that would make it x+ 44
Since both angles add up to 180 degrees, we have the equation
x + ( x+ 44) = 180
2x + 44 = 180
2x = 180 -44
2x = 136
x = 68
So, the smaller angle is 68 degrees and the bigger angle is 68 + 44 = 112 degrees.
To check,
68 + 112 = 180
