SOLUTION: In the triangle ABC, the measure of angle A is 2 degrees less than 1/5 of the measure of triangle C. The measure of triangle B is 5 degrees less than 1/2 of the measure of angle C.

Question 44493: In the triangle ABC, the measure of angle A is 2 degrees less than 1/5 of the measure of triangle C. The measure of triangle B is 5 degrees less than 1/2 of the measure of angle C. Find the measures of the three angles of the triangle.

Total measure of a triangle = 180 degrees
Triangle A =
Triangle B =
Triangle C = x
EQUATION:

Multiply the whole equation by 10 and simplfy
2x-20+5x-50+10x=1800
17x=1870
x=110
Trianlge A = =20
Triangle B = =50
Hence, the 3 angles are 50, 20 and 110 degree
