"Find the measures of the supplementary angles if the measure of the larger angle is 44 more than the measure of the smaller angle." help?

Supplementary is 180? Yes?
One angle is x.
The other is 44 more, so x+44
x+(x+44) = 180
2x = 136
x = 68
68 and 112

I assume you are doing this problem in degrees.
supplementary means that x + y = 180. However it is given that y = x + 44. This is just a simple system of equations. By substituting into the definition of supplementary, you ge the equation 2x + 44 = 180. Solve for x and then use y = x +44 to solve for y.

The Supplementary Angles, add up to 180°.
a line is 180 degrees if there is a existing angle of 44 the supplementary angle of 44 is therefore 180 -44 = 136
(y + 44) + y = 180
(LARGER ANGLE) + (SMALLER ANGLE) = 180
y = 68
y + 44 = 112

supplementary angles add to 180°, so
Θ + [Θ +44] = 180; solving algebraically you get Θ = 68°.
That makes [Θ +44] =112° (and if you add the 2 you'll confirm
that they add to 180°.]
