1. $\"2C=S-26\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2. $\"S%2BA=180\"$
\n" ); document.write( "3. $\"C%2BA=90\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtracting eq. 3 from eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"S%2BA-C-A=180-90\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"S-C=90\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2S-2C=180\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting from eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2S-S%2B26=180\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"S=180-26\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"S=154\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"154%2BA=180\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=26\"$
