Let represent the measure of angle B.

Then represents the measure of angle A and represents the measure of angle C.

Since the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 when the angles are measured in degrees, and since I presume that you meant "measure of angle A is 30 degrees more than twice the measure of angle B" in your problem statement, we can write:



Solve for to get the measure of B and the others follow from that.
