Hi there, \n" ); document.write( "Angles are supplementary if they add up to 180 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, (8x + 8) + (x + 10) = 180 degrees \n" ); document.write( "=> 8x + 8 + x + 10 = 180 \n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms: \n" ); document.write( "=> 8x + x = 180 - 8 - 10 \n" ); document.write( "=> 9x + 162 \n" ); document.write( "=> x = 18 \n" ); document.write( "(8x + 8) = 152 degrees \n" ); document.write( "(x + 10) = 28 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-) \n" ); document.write( " |
