You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"x\"$ = the measure of the angle, in degrees (you did not specify your angle measure units)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x\"$ = 5 times the angle, in degrees
\n" ); document.write( " $\"90%5Eo-x\"$ = the measure of the complement, in degrees
\n" ); document.write( "(complement means what you need to add to get to $\"90%5Eo\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( " $\"180%5Eo-x\"$ = the measure of the supplement, in degrees
\n" ); document.write( "(supplement means what you need to add to get to $\"180%5Eo\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5x=90%5Eo-x%2B%28180%5E0-x%29-4%5Eo\"$ --> $\"5x=90%5Eo%2B180%5E0-4%5Eo-x-x\"$ --> $\"5x=266%5Eo-2x\"$ --> $\"7x=266%5Eo\"$ --> $\"x=266%5Eo%2F7\"$ --> $\"highlight%28x=38%5Eo%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
