document.write( "The wording of the problem seems but let's see what I can to help you. Let x represent the smaller angle and 7x+36 be the larger angle. We know supplementary s 180 degrees.<BR>\n" );
document.write( "so here's the equation we can set up.<BR>\n" );
document.write( "7x+36+x=180 Combine like terms:<BR>\n" );
document.write( "8x+36=180  Subtract 36 from both sides gives us:<BR>\n" );
document.write( "8x=144 Now divide both sides by 8 gives us:<BR>\n" );
document.write( "x=18   So now we know the smaller angle is 18 degrees. <BR>\n" );
document.write( "The larger angle is 162 degrees. <BR>\n" );
