\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 180
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5y
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" and solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "5y + y = 180
\n" ); document.write( "6y = 180
\n" ); document.write( "y = 30 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5y
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5*30 = 150 degrees
