Given that three angles of a triangle are represented by x, x+5, and 3x, what are the measures of those angles if the sum of three angles of a triangle are always equal to 180 degrees

Question

Given that three angles of a triangle are represented by x,  x+5, and 3x, what are the measures of those angles if the sum of three angles of a triangle are always equal to 180 degrees

anonymous · Answer

Since the sum of them = 180, then add them all up :

x + 3x + x+5 = 180
5x = 175
x = 35

Substitute x in all you'll get :
1) x = 35 degrees
2) x + 5 = 35 + 5 = 40 degrees
3) 3x = 3(35) = 105 degrees
