Let x be the measure of the first angle in degrees.
Then x+5 is the measure of the second angle.
And 3x+15 is the measure of the third angle.

The sum of the angle measures in a triangle is 180:

(x)+(x+5)+(3x+15)=180
5x+20=180
5x=160
x=32

first angle: x = 32
second: x+5 = 37
third: 3x+15 = 111

ANSWERS: 32, 37, and 111 degrees
