x+(x-62)=90
\n" ); document.write( "x+x-62=90
\n" ); document.write( "2x=90+62
\n" ); document.write( "2x=152
\n" ); document.write( "x=152/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=76 for the larger angle.
\n" ); document.write( "90-76=14 for the smaller angle.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof
\n" ); document.write( "76+(76-62)=90
\n" ); document.write( "76+14=90
\n" ); document.write( "90=90
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
