angle 1 = x
\n" ); document.write( "angle 2 = x + 24
\n" ); document.write( "angle 1 + 2 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x + 24) = 90
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 24 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 24 - 24 = 90 - 24
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 66
\n" ); document.write( "2x/2 = 66/2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 33\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "33 + 33 + 24 = 90
\n" ); document.write( "90 = 90
