X-Y=38 OR X=38+Y
\n" ); document.write( "X+Y=180
\n" ); document.write( "(38+Y)+Y=180
\n" ); document.write( "38+2Y=180
\n" ); document.write( "2Y=180-38
\n" ); document.write( "2Y=142
\n" ); document.write( "Y=142/2
\n" ); document.write( "Y=71 DEGREES FOR THE SMALLER ANGLE.
\n" ); document.write( "X=38+71=109 DEGREES FOR THE LARGER ANGLE.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
\n" ); document.write( "71+109=180
\n" ); document.write( "180=180
\n" ); document.write( "
