The problem expects that you know:
\n" ); document.write( "Two angles are complementary if the sum of their angles equal 90.
\n" ); document.write( "Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their angles equal 180.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"find the measure of an angle its measure is 5 times as large as its supplement\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = measure of the angle
\n" ); document.write( "then 180-x = supplement of the angle
\n" ); document.write( "and from: \"the measure of an angle its measure is 5 times as large as its supplement\" we get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5(180-x)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 900-5x
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 900
\n" ); document.write( "x = 900/6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 150 degrees\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"find the measure of an angle if its measure is 10 more than four times its complement\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = measure of an angle
\n" ); document.write( "then 90-x = complement of the angle
\n" ); document.write( "and from: \"the measure of an angle if its measure is 10 more than four times its complement\" we get
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4(90-x) + 10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 360 - 4x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 370
\n" ); document.write( "x = 74 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
