Answer:

66 and 114 degrees

Explanation:

Supplementary angles add to 180 degrees.

An angle measures 48 more than its supplementary angle. If the supplementary angle is x, then the other angle must be x+48

x+x+48=180

Subtract 48 from both sides

x+x+48-48=180-48

x+x=132

Combine like terms

2x=132

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2=132/2

x=66

So, one of the angles is 66 degrees. The other is x+48

x+48

66+48=114

One of the angles is 66 degrees, the other is 114 degrees
