    Give the known angle (90) a pronumeral of r.

    give the second angle (the one with all the subtraction) a pronumeral or x.

    give the third angle the pronumeral of y

    x = 7y - 6

    90 + x + y = 180

    90 + 7y - 6 + y = 180

    90 + 8y - 6 = 180

    90 + 8y = 186

    8y = 96

    y = 12. the third angle is 12

    so 12 + 90 = 102

    the second angle must equal 88 to make it to 180
