You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the angles are supplementary their sum = 180
\n" ); document.write( "so x+y=180
\n" ); document.write( "x=4y-5
\n" ); document.write( "we get that because one angle is 5 degrees less than four times the other
\n" ); document.write( "4 times the other is 4y
\n" ); document.write( "5 degrees less we subtract 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+y=180
\n" ); document.write( "x=4y-5
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
