\n" ); document.write( "x = one angle
\n" ); document.write( "y = other angle
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "x + x+8 = 180
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 8 = 180
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 180 - 8
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 172
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 86
\n" ); document.write( "86 + 8 = 94
