Problema Solution

if the largest angle in a triangle is 5 times the measure of the smalles angle and the middle-sized angle is 20 degrees greater than twice the measure of the smalles angle. Find the three angles

Answer provided by our tutors

z = 5x  

y = 2x + 20

we have x + y + z = 180 

x + 2x + 20 + 5x = 180 

8x = 160 

x = 20 

so y = 60 

z = 100
