The measure of the largest angle given it’s
Supplement is +%28+23%2F%28+13+%2B+23+%29+%29%2A90+=+alpha+
+alpha+=+%28++23%2F36+%29%2A90+
+alpha+=+57.5+ degrees

The correct solution and the correct answer are below : 

The measure of the largest angle is

   +%28+23%2F%28+13+%2B+23+%29+%29%2A180 = alpha+

+alpha = %28++23%2F36+%29%2A180+

+alpha = 115 degrees.

Supplementary angles are those that sum up to 180 degrees.
