document.write( "Question 700130: Hi there! I was wondering if I have two lines that are perpendicular and it makes an x and the top angle says (y+x)degrees the right angle says (y-x) degrees and the left says 2x degrees how would I solve to find each variable? Also just incase this makes a difference 2x and y+x are supplementary(add up to 180) and y+x and y-x are supplementary angles! Thanks for your help:) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "2x + (y+x) = 180 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "(y+x)+(y-x) = 180 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "3x + y = 180
