\n" ); document.write( "Let x = angle
\n" ); document.write( "180-x = supplement of angle
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "From: \"One angle is four times as large as its supplement.\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4(180-x)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 720-4x
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 720
\n" ); document.write( "x = 720/5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 144
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Supplement:
