You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can solve two ways:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283r%2B44%29%2B%285s%2B11%29=180\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%288s-19%29%2B%285r-6%29=180\"$
\n" ); document.write( "That gives you a system of equations in r and s.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3r%2B5s=125\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5r%2B8s=205\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The other, easier way is the equality of the angles.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3r%2B44=5r-6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8s-19=5s%2B11\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This way each equation only has one variable.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3r%2B44=5r-6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-2r=-50\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28r=25%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8s-19=5s%2B11\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3s=30\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28s=10%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
