Answer:
The two angles added together are equal to 180 degrees because they lie on a straight line and a straight line is always equal to 180 degrees.
∠1 + ∠2 = 180°
∠1 = 3x, ∠2 = x + 44
Substitute the values of ∠1 and ∠2
3x + x + 44 = 180
4x + 44 = 180
4x = 136
x = 34
If x = 34,
∠1 = 3 * 34 = 102°
∠2 = 34 + 44 = 78°
