-----------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "One angles \"cross%28ensures%29\" MEASURES 24 degrees less than the other angle.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x and y, angle measures\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2By=180\"----------they are supplementary\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=y-24\"----------x is 24 degrees less than y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Exactly the way the description is said.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can simply substitute for x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y-24%29%2By=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2y=180%2B24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=90%2B12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28y=102%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28x=78%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
