Question 158461: The measurement of an angle's supplement is 44 less than the measure of the angle. Find the measurement of the and it's suplement.
formula i made from the info.
180=s+a
s=a-44 Answer by midwood_trail(310) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You did a great job coming up with your equations.
180 = s + a
s = a - 44
If you notice that the value of s is given in your second equation.
We plug that value into the first equation and solve for a.
180 = a - 44 + a
180 = 2a - 44
180 + 44 = 2a
224 = 2a
224/2 = a
112 = a
This is the angle measure.
=========================
To find it's supplement, plug 112 into your first equation and solve for s.
180 = s + a
180 = s + 112
180 - 112 = s
68 = s
