Supplementary angles sum to 180.

\n" ); document.write( "Establish variables
\n" ); document.write( "x = smaller angle
\n" ); document.write( "y = larger angle
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Given
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"1%2F2\"y
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=180
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute x into the second equation and solve for y, the larger angle
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F2\"y + y = 180
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 2 to be rid of the fraction
\n" ); document.write( "y + 2y = 360
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 360
