Algebra.Com's Answer #340516 by oberobic(2304)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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( " |
