In equilateral triangle DEF, measure of angle D=3x+y, measure of angle E= 2x+40, and measure of angle F= 2y. find x,y, measure of angle D and measure of angle F.
------
D = E
3x+y = 2x+40
y = -x+40
-------------------
D = F
3x+y = 2y
y = 3x
----
Therefore: 3x = -x+40
4x = 40
x = 10
---
y = -x+40
y = -10+40
y = 30
------
D = 3x+y = 3*10 + 30 = 60
D = E = F = 60 degrees
