\n" );
document.write( "Let angle's measurement, be A
\n" );
document.write( "Then its supplement is: 180 - A, and its complement is: 90 - A
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, 180 - A = 4(90 - A) + 15
\n" );
document.write( "Now solve for A, the angle's measurement. It's not that confusing!! \n" );

\n" );
