\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the angle (in degrees).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the supplement to this angle is 180-x degrees,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "and we write the given part as an equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    180-x = 3x - 16.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then we simplify and solve this equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    180 + 16 = 3x + x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     196     =    4x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "       x     =    196/4 \r\n" );
