You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"a\" = unknown angle
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+180+-+a+%2B+44+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2a+=224+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+112+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"68\" is the supplement of \"112\" since
\n" ); document.write( "\"+68+=+180+-+112+\". I'm not sure why
\n" ); document.write( "that is a solution also.
\n" ); document.write( "
