Question 1118624: The sum of the measures of the three angles in any triangle is 180 degrees. The measure of the smallest angle of a certain triangle is half the measure of the second angle. The measure of the largest angle is 68degrees more than 4 times the measure of the smallest. Find the measure of each angle

Smallest angle, x
Second angle, 2x
Largest angle, 4x+68
Total Sum, 180 degrees


x%2B2x%2B%284x%2B68%29=180
-
7x=180-68
7x=112
highlight%28x=16%29------the smallest angle
