You can put this solution on YOUR website! the measure of an angles' supplement is 44 less than the measure of the angle find the measure of the angle and its supplement
------
Let the angle be "x".
Then the supplement is "180-x".
--------------------------------
Equation:
supplement = angle - 44
180-x = x - 44
2x = 224
x = 112 degrees (the angle)
180-x = 68 degrees (the supplement)
