x+9x+x+70=180
11x=110
x=10
9x=90
x+70=80

The smallest angle is 10 degrees
So that if the largest angle is 9 times larger than the smallest one it equals 90. (10*9)
Then the third angle is 70 degrees larger...so letting the smallest angle represent x.... (70+x)
Largest angle: 10*9=90
Smallest angle: 10
Third angel:70+10=80
Total: 90+10+80=180
Guess and check to figure out what the measurement of the smallest angle is, and once you make a logical guess plug it back in and see if it equals 180.
