Let x=first angle, x+2=second angle, x+4=third angle

Remember, the sum of three angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. So this means that
Start with the given equation.

Combine like terms on the left side.

Subtract from both sides.

Combine like terms on the right side.

Divide both sides by to isolate .

Reduce.
