The three angles of a triangle have measures of x, 2x, and y. where x > 55.
If x and y are integers, what is one possible value of y ?
smallest x can be is 56
x 2x 3x y
56 112 168 12
57 114 171 9
58 116 174 6
59 118 177 3 (178 and 179 are not divisible by 3, and y can not be 0)
y can be 3 or 6 or 9 or 12
