The second angle of a triangle is four times the first and the third is 5 degree more than twice the first. Find the measures of the angle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. The sum of the three angles for a triangle is 180 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Let x be the first angle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3. Let 4x be the second angle since it's four times the first.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 4. Let 2x+5 be the third angle since it is 5 degrees more than twice the first.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 5. Then, \"x%2B4x%2B2x%2B5=180\" since the sum of the angles is 180 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 6. Solving the equation \"x%2B4x%2B2x%2B5=180\" yields the following steps\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7x%2B5=180\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7x%2B5-5=180-5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7x=175\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=25\" \"4x=100\" and \"2x%2B5=55\". Note these three angles add up to 180 degrees as a check.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 6. ANSWER: The angles of the triangle are 25, 100, and 55 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope the above steps were helpful.\r
