Let the second angle = x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The measure of one angle of a triangle is twice the measure of a second angle.
\n" ); document.write( "This says: 1st angle = 2x
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " The measure of the third angle is 12 less than the sum of the other two.
\n" ); document.write( "This says: 3rd angle = (x + 2x) - 12 = (3x-12)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " Find the measures of the angles of the triangle.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2nd angle + 1st angle + 3rd angle = 180 (like all triangles)
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2x + (3x - 12) = 180
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 180 + 12
\n" ); document.write( "x = 192/6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 32 degree is the 2nd angle
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1st angle = 2(32) = 64
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3rd angle = 32 + 64 - 12 = 84 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check: 32 + 64 + 84 = 180\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
