we have the following equations
\n" ); document.write( "y + 2x+5 = 180
\n" ); document.write( "z + 2x-5 = 180
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "y = 175 -2x
\n" ); document.write( "z = 185 -2x
\n" ); document.write( "we know the sum of the interior angles of the regular triangle = 180
\n" ); document.write( "now we have
\n" ); document.write( "175-2x + 185-2x +x = 180
\n" ); document.write( "-3x + 360 = 180
\n" ); document.write( "-3x = -180
\n" ); document.write( "x = 60
\n" ); document.write( "y = 55
\n" ); document.write( "z = 65\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
