SOLUTION: Find the angles of a triangle where one angle is three times a second angle and six times the third angle. I think the variables should be: x = one angle 3x = second angle 6x =

Question 160779: Find the angles of a triangle where one angle is three times a second angle and six times the third angle.
I think the variables should be:
x = one angle
3x = second angle
6x = third angle

Not quite
The first angle is 3 times the second. You have the second angle as 3 times the first.
Likewise, the first angle is 6 times the third. You have the thrid angle as 6 times the first.
The angles should be
You know the sum of the angles is 180 (since this is a triangle)

}
So the other angles are 120/3 = 40
and 120/6 = 20
Does 120+40+20 = 180?
