\n" );
document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent angle A
\n" );
document.write( "B = (90-x)
\n" );
document.write( "C= (180-x)
\n" );
document.write( "write as we read***
\n" );
document.write( "B = C/6
\n" );
document.write( "(90-x) = (180-x)/6
\n" );
document.write( "solve for x
\n" );
document.write( "6(90-x) = 180 -x
\n" );
document.write( "540 - 6x = 180 -x
\n" );
document.write( "360 = 5x
\n" );
document.write( "72 = x
\n" );
document.write( "A= 72degrees,  B= 18degrees and C= 108degrees
\n" );
document.write( "checking our answer
\n" );
document.write( "18degrees = 108degrees/6 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
