Hi

 five times the measure of an angle is 48 more than the measure of its supplement

Let x aand (5x+48°) represent the two angles

Sum of Supplementary angles = 180°

Question states***

x + (5x + 48°) = 180°

Solving for x

6x + 48° = 180°

    6x = 132°

     x = 22°, the angle in question     (It's supplememt = 158°)
