Question

the measure of an angle is 44 more than the measure of its supplement. Find the measures of the angles.

Answer 1

The numbers would be 122 and 68.

In order to find these, the first angle could be x. This allows you to make the second angle x + 44. We can then set it equal to 180.

x + x + 44 = 180

2x + 44 = 180

2x = 136

x = 68

Then to find the second angle, you can add 44 to it.

68 + 44 = 112.
