document.write( "Let x be the measure of the angle; then the supplementary angle is (180-x) degrees,\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x - (180-x) = 44  degrees.\r\n" );

document.write( "     x            = 224/2 = 112.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The measure of the angle is 112 degrees;  the measure of its supplement is 180 - 112 = 68.\r\n" );
