First angle = 90
\n" ); document.write( "Second angle = x
\n" ); document.write( "Third angle = 90 - x
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7(90 - x) - 6
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x + 6 = 7(90 - x)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x + 6 = 630 - 7x
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 624
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "x = 78
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "First angle = 90
\n" ); document.write( "Second angle = x = 78
\n" ); document.write( "Third angle = 90 - x = 90 - 78 = 12 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
