Supplement= forms 180 degrees together
\n" ); document.write( "complement= forms 90 degrees together\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "lets say
\n" ); document.write( "3x= supplement
\n" ); document.write( "x= complement
\n" ); document.write( "y= angle
\n" ); document.write( "Supplement= 180= 3x+y
\n" ); document.write( "Complement= 90=x+y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To combine the two equations together, multiply 90=x+y by negative three to cancel out the positive 3x of the supplement equation.
\n" ); document.write( "-3(90)=-3(x+y)
\n" ); document.write( "-270=-3x-3y\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-270=-3x-3y
\n" ); document.write( "180=3x+y
\n" ); document.write( "(add these two equations together to find Y)
\n" ); document.write( "-90= -2y
\n" ); document.write( "y=\"45+degrees\"
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
