\n" ); document.write( "2nd: 180-x
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Note: At this point you do not know which angle is larger.

\n" ); document.write( "180-x = x +20
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Note: Now you are saying 180-x is 20 larger than \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 160
\n" ); document.write( "1st: x = 80
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: 180-x = 100
