Hello,
\n" ); document.write( "It's best to present only one problem at a time. I'll help you on the first one.
\n" ); document.write( "Let x represent the smaller angle. Therefore the equation will be:
\n" ); document.write( "x+(3x+40)=180 Combine like terms to get and subtract 40 from both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "4x=140
\n" ); document.write( "x=35 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "Can you figure out the larger angle?
