document.write( "Let x be the smaller angle measure, in degrees.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the measure of the larger angle is 3x+15 degrees.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "And you have this equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "x + (3x+15) = 135   degrees.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Simplify and solve for x:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "4x = 135 - 15  --->  4x = 120  --->  x =  = 30.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer. The smaller angle is 30 degrees. The larger angle is 3*30 + 15 = 105 degrees.\r\n" );
