You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If two supplementary angles differ by 44%5Eo, thein their measures, in degrees are
x and x%2B44
Since they are supplementary their measures add to 180%5Eo, so
x%2B%28x%2B44%29=180
From that equation, we can find x
x%2B%28x%2B44%29=180 --> %28x%2Bx%29%2B44=180 --> 2x%2B44=180 --> 2x=180-44 --> 2x=136 --> x=136%2F2 --> highlight%28x=68%29
