SOLUTION: In a triangle, the measure of the middle angle is triple the measure of the smallest angle and the measure of the largest angle is 55 degrees greater than the measure of the smalle

Question 1105662: In a triangle, the measure of the middle angle is triple the measure of the smallest angle and the measure of the largest angle is 55 degrees greater than the measure of the smallest angle. Find the measures of the angles.

Call the degree measure of the smallest angle x. Then the middle angle is 3x, and the largest angle is x+55.

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

Write and solve the equation that says x plus 3x plus x+55 is equal to 180.
