@campbell_st Can you please help me with this question
In a triangle, the second angle measures twice the first, and the third angle measures 5 more than the second. If the sum of the angles' measure is 180 degrees, find the measure of the each angles and write an equation

campbell_st · Answer

well let the 1st angle = x
                 2nd angle = 2x
                  3rd angle = 2x + 5

so then you have the 3 angles and you now they add to 180

x + 2x + 2x + 5 = 180

just solve for x, the smallest angle and you'll be able to find the other 2
