\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Supplementary angles add up to 180.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = one angle
\n" ); document.write( "2x = other angle {twice as large as the other}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 2x = 180 {supplementary angles add up to 180}
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 180 {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 60 {divided both sides by 3}
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 120 {substituted 60, in for x, into 2x}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "60 and 120 are the two angles\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "60 is the measure of the smaller angle
