The supplement of an angle is 15 less than 4 times the angle. Find the angle.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the angle
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(180-x) = the supplement of the angle
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Write what it says:
\n" ); document.write( "180 - x = 4x - 15
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "180 + 15 = 4x + x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "195 = 5x
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"195%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 39 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check the solution in the given statement:
\n" ); document.write( "180 - 39 = 4(39) - 15
\n" ); document.write( "141 = 156 - 15
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
