The second angle of a triangular garden is 4 times as large as the first. The third angle is 45 degrees less than the sum of the other two angles. Find the measure of each angle.
----------------
1st angle:: x
2nd angle:: 4x
3rd angle:: 5x-45
-------
Equation:
10x-45 = 180 degrees
10x = 135
x = 13.5 degrees
4x = 54 degrees
3x-45 = 22.5 degrees
