\n" ); document.write( "Note: Let A and B be angles with measures x and y, respectively. If x+y=180, then the two angles are supplementary.
\n" ); document.write( "::
\n" ); document.write( "Let x=measure of one angle
\n" ); document.write( "Then 3x+10 [ten degrees more than three times the other]=measure of the other angle
\n" ); document.write( "::
\n" ); document.write( "IF the angles are supplementary, then:
\n" ); document.write( ":: x+(3x+10)=180
\n" ); document.write( ":: 4x+10=180
\n" ); document.write( ":: 4x=170
\n" ); document.write( ":: x=170/4=42.5^o. The other angle is 180-42.5=137.5^o
