Answer:

23° and 157°

Explanation:

Let n represent the smaller angle then the larger angle would be...

n+134

Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees. We can use this information to set up an equation...

n+n+134=180

Combine like terms

2n+134=180

Subtract 134 from both sides

2n=46

Divide both sides by 2

n=23

n+134=157

23° and 157°
