You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let X be your angle
\n" ); document.write( "Let 180 - X be your supplement
\n" ); document.write( "

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"+180+-+X+=+X+%2B+20+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract X from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+180+-+2X+=+20+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 180 from Both Sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-2X+=+-160+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide Both Sides by -2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+X+=+80+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your Angle is 80, the Supplement is 180 - 80 = 100 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
