Two angles are supplementary.
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 180 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4y
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "4y + y = 180
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 180
\n" ); document.write( "y = 36
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "4y = 4*36 = 144
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "36+144 = 180
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: The two angles are 36 and 144 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
