Let the measure of the first angle be F
\n" );
document.write( "Then the second angle = F + 20
\n" );
document.write( "And, the third = F + 20 + 35 = F + 55
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: F + F + 20 + F + 55 = 180
\n" );
document.write( "3F + 75 = 180
\n" );
document.write( "3F = 105
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
