If M<1 is four times its supplement, find M<1 and its supplement. \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "Let the angle (M<1) be \"x\". \n" ); document.write( "Its supplement is 180-x \n" ); document.write( "----------------------- \n" ); document.write( "EQUATION: \n" ); document.write( "x = 4(180-x) \n" ); document.write( "x = 720-4x \n" ); document.write( "5x = 720 \n" ); document.write( "x = 144 (the angle you call M<1) \n" ); document.write( "180-144=36 ( the supplement of M<1) \n" ); document.write( "============================ \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
