You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If two angles are supplementary they equal
\n" ); document.write( "to 180 degrees when added.
\n" ); document.write( "Small angle = x degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Large angle = 15 + 4x degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "x + (15 + 4x) = 180
\n" ); document.write( "x + 15 + 4x = 180
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 15 = 180
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 180 - 15
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 165 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "x = 33 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "Small angle = 33 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Larger angle = 147 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
