Question 1094095: The measure of the smallest angle of a triangle is one-thirdthird the measure of the largest angle. The measure of the second angle is 6565degrees° less than the measure of the largest angle. Find the measure of the angles of the triangle.

To make the arithmetic easier by avoiding fractions, let the measure of the smallest angle be x; then the measure of the largest angle is 3x; and then the measure of the other angle is 3x-65.
Then the sum of the three angles must be 180 degrees:
You can solve the problem from there.
