\n" ); document.write( "The supplement of an angle is 90 degrees more than the complement of the same angle. Since we are told that the supplement is 6 times the complement, if x is the measure of the complement then

\n" ); document.write( "\"6x+=+90%2Bx\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"5x+=+90\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+18\"

\n" ); document.write( "The complement of the angle is 18 degrees; so the angle is 90-18 = 72 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
