Question 27819: Please help! The sum of the measurers of the angles of any triangle is 180 degrees. In a triangle ABC, angels A and B have the same measure, while the measure of angel C is 60 degrees larger than each of A and B. What are the measures of the three angles. I have started with
X=A&B angle
X+60= angle C
X+X+60=180
I just don't think I'm correct. Thank you

You're close, and you started fine. But remember, x is both angle A & B, not angle A plus angle B. So you have to add all three angles:
Angle A (x)
Angle B (x)
Angle C (x+60)

not
