a = an angle
\n" ); document.write( "x = its supplement
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "a + x = 180 by the definition of the supplement
\n" ); document.write( "so
\n" ); document.write( "a = 180-x
\n" ); document.write( "x = 180-a
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "a = 35x
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "substitute
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "35x + x = 180
\n" ); document.write( "36x = 180
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "a = 35*5
\n" ); document.write( "a = 175
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
