IGNORE the NONSENSE by the other person!
\n" );
document.write( "Let angle B be B
\n" );
document.write( "Then angle A = 180 - B, since the angles are SUPPLEMENTARY
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 180 - B = 5B + 7.2
\n" );
document.write( "- B - 5B = 7.2 - 180
\n" );
document.write( "- 6B = - 172.8
\n" );
document.write( "B, or measure of angle B = 
\n" );
document.write( "AGAIN, any other answer is NONSENSE, especially the one from that person who you can be CERTAIN will ALWAYS be about 95% INCORRECT!! \n" );
