You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = measure of one angle
\n" ); document.write( "x = measure of other angle {two angles are equal}
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3 = measure of the third angle {third is 3° greater than each of the other two}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + x + x + 3 = 180° {angles of a triangle add up to 180}
\n" ); document.write( "3x + 3 = 180 {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 177 {subtracted 3 from each side}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 59 {divided each side by 3}
\n" ); document.write( "x + 3 = 62 {substituted 59, in for x, into x + 3}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "62° is the measure of the larger angle
\n" ); document.write( "
