let x = largest
"smallest angle of a triangle is 2 degrees more than 1/4 of the largest" ___ x/4 + 2
"middle angle is 2 degrees less than the largest angle" ___ x - 2
x + x/4 + 2 + x - 2 = 180 ___ the 2's cancel
multiplying by 4 ___ 4x + x + 4x = 720 ___ 9x = 720 ___ x = 80
substituting ___ 80/4 + 2 = 22
substituting ___ 80 - 2 = 78
