document.write( "two angles are supplementary. 
\n" );
document.write( "the larger angle has measure three times as great as the measure of the smaller angle
\n" );
document.write( "Let x and 3x represent the measure of the smaller and larger angle
\n" );
document.write( "Question states***
\n" );
document.write( " x + 3x = 180°
\n" );
document.write( "   4x = 180°
\n" );
document.write( "    x = 45°, the smaller angle\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "CHECKING our Answer*** 135° the larger angle (3*45°)
\n" );
document.write( "  45° + 135° = 180° \n" );
