i assume that there is a typo and that it should read" Find the measures of the angles of a triangle if the measure of the 1st "angle" is twice the measure of the second angle and the third angle is 36 degrees more than the second angle.
a, b and c
where
a=2b
c=36+b
so we have
a+b+c=180
by substitution
2b+b+36+b=180
4b+36=180
4b=144
4b=4*3*12
b=36
a=72
c=72
