supplementary angles mean the angles add up to 180..lets call the angles a and b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a+b=180...eq 1
\n" ); document.write( "a=6b+5....eq 2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "plug in a's value from eq 1 into eq 2.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(6b+5)+b=180------->add b terms and subtract 5 from each side.
