Question 828483: two angles are supplementary. If the measure of the larger angle is 44 degree more than the measure of the smaller angle, find the measure of the smaller angle Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = the smaller angle
then
(x+44) = the larger angle
Supplementary means:
(x+44) + x = 180
2x = 180 - 44
2x = 136
x = 136/2
x = 68 degrees is the smaller angle

Check this
68 + 44 = 112 is the large angl
112 + 68 = 180
