the second angle of a triangle is two times as large as the first. the third angle is 10 degrees more than the second angle. find the measure of the first angle
\n" ); document.write( "Let the first angle be: x
\n" ); document.write( "Then the second angle is: 2x
\n" ); document.write( "Then the third angle is: 2x+10
\n" ); document.write( "If you add the angles of any triangle it equals 180 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "(x)+(2x)+(2x+10)=180
\n" ); document.write( "x+2x+2x+10=180
\n" ); document.write( "5x+10=180
\n" ); document.write( "5x+10-10=180-10
\n" ); document.write( "5x=170
\n" ); document.write( "5x/5=170/5
\n" ); document.write( "x=34
\n" ); document.write( "The first angle is: x=34 degrees.
