\n" );
document.write( "Let the measure of the angle be A
\n" );
document.write( "Then its complement is: 90 - A
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, 4(90 - A) = A - 20
\n" );
document.write( "            360 - 4A = A - 20
\n" );
document.write( "            - 4A - A = - 20 - 360
\n" );
document.write( "                - 5A = - 380
\n" );
document.write( "A, or measure of angle = , or  \n" );
