Supplementary angles add up to $\"180\"$ °.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x\"$ and $\"y\"$ are supplementary angles, means $\"x%2By=180\"$ °......1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if given $\"x+=+5y\"$ , substitute in 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"5y%2By=180\"$ °......1.solve for $\"y\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"6y=180\"$ °\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=180%2F6\"$ °\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=30%29\"$ °\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now find $\"x\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+5%2A30\"$ °\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x+=+150%29\"$ °\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
