\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent the larger angle     
\n" );
document.write( "x = 8(90°-x)
\n" );
document.write( "x = 720 - 8x
\n" );
document.write( "9x = 720°
\n" );
document.write( " x = 80° and it's complement is 10°
\n" );
document.write( "and...checking
\n" );
document.write( " 80° = 8*10° \n" );
document.write( "
