One angle of a triangle is twice as large as another.
The measure of the third angle is 20 degrees more than that of the smallest angle.
Find the measure of each angle.
------
1st: x
2nd: 2x
3rd: x+20
-----------------
Equation:
x + 2x + x + 20 = 180
4x = 160
x = 40 degrees
2x = 80 degrees
x+20 = 60 degrees
