We have 3 (f for first, s for second, t for third) variables and 3 equations:
\n" ); document.write( "the measure of the second angle is 10 degrees more than three times the first.
\n" ); document.write( "s=3f+10
\n" ); document.write( "the third angle measure is equal to the sum of the measures of the other two:
\n" ); document.write( "t=f+s
\n" ); document.write( "And we know that interior angles in triangles add up to 180:
\n" ); document.write( "f+s+t=180
\n" ); document.write( "We can actually sub in for f+s and replace it with t since those are equal values\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "t+t=180
\n" ); document.write( "2t=180
\n" ); document.write( "t=90\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we know that f+s=90
\n" ); document.write( "and that s=3f+10
\n" ); document.write( "so I can sub in 3f+10 for s
\n" ); document.write( "f+3f+10=90
\n" ); document.write( "4f+10=90
\n" ); document.write( "4f=80
\n" ); document.write( "f=20
\n" ); document.write( "Which makes the second 70 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
