Let x=first angle, x+2=second angle, x+4=third angle\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remember, the sum of three angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. So this means that \"x%2Bx%2B2%2Bx%2B4=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Bx%2B2%2Bx%2B4=180\" Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B6=180\" Combine like terms on the left side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=180-6\" Subtract \"6\" from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=174\" Combine like terms on the right side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%28174%29%2F%283%29\" Divide both sides by \"3\" to isolate \"x\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=58\" Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is \"x=58\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So this means that the three angles are 58, 60, and 62
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
