Answer: Let x be the measure of the angle in degrees. Then, the measure of its supplementary angle is 180 - x degrees.

We are told that the angle measures 153.4 degrees more than its supplementary angle. Using this information, we can set up an equation:

x = (180 - x) + 153.4

Simplifying this equation, we get:

2x = 180 + 153.4

2x = 333.4

x = 166.7

Therefore, the angle measures 166.7 degrees, and its supplementary angle measures:

180 - x = 180 - 166.7 = 13.3 degrees

We can check that the angle and its supplementary angle add up to 180 degrees:

166.7 + 13.3 = 180

So our solution is correct.
