Find the measure of the angle and the supplement. \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Let x = the angle \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "180-x = supplement \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "the equation is then: \n" ); document.write( "180-x = 4x+15 \n" ); document.write( "180 = 5x+15 \n" ); document.write( "165 = 5x \n" ); document.write( "33 degrees = x (angle) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "supplement: \n" ); document.write( "180-x = 180-33 = 147 degrees \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
