5x+8+6x+22+3x-25=180
14x=175
x=12.5
5x+8=70.5 degrees
6x+22=97 degrees
3x-25=12.5 degrees

Your triangle has three angles, BAC=5x+8, ABC=6x+22, and BCA=3x-25, and, as in any other triangle, the sum of these three angles is 180 degrees.
So, we can write an equation from the information given about each of these three angles:
Simplify this.
Subtract 5 from both sides.
Divide both sides by 14.
The angles are:
degrees.
degrees.
degrees.
