let x equal the value of the angle.
\n" ); document.write( "then 180 - x equals the value of the supplement.
\n" ); document.write( "formula becomes x = 1/2 * (180 - x) + 9
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides of this equation by 2 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 180 - x + 18
\n" ); document.write( "add x to both sides and combine like terms to get:
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 198
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 3 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 66
\n" ); document.write( "that's your angle.
\n" ); document.write( "the supplement is 180 - 66 = 114
\n" ); document.write( "the formula of x = 1/2 * (180 - x) + 9 becomes 66 = 114 / 2 + 9
\n" ); document.write( "you get 66 = 57 + 9 = 66, confirming that 66 degrees for the angle is correct.
\n" ); document.write( "your solution is that the smaller angle is 66 degrees.\r
