The first angle of a triangle is three times the measure of the third angle. The second angle is five less that the third angle. Find the measure of each angle.
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the measure of third angle be \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "Then measure of first angle is \"3x\".
\n" ); document.write( "And measure of second angle is \"x-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "1st + 2nd + 3rd = 180
\n" ); document.write( "3x + x-5 + x = 180
\n" ); document.write( "5x=185
\n" ); document.write( "x=37 degrees (measure of 3rd angle)
\n" ); document.write( "x-5=32 degrees (measure of 2nd angle)
\n" ); document.write( "3x= 111 degrees (measure of 1s angle)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
