I have an isoceles with an angle supplementary to angle 3 equaling 116 degrees find angles 1 and 2.
supplement to 116 = 64
let the equal angles be x
sum of these two will be 2x
2x+64=180 ( sum of agles of triangle)
2x=180-64
2x=116
x=58
the angles are 58,58 and 64

As this post is worded, it is a soup of words with no mathematical meaning.

It is not a subject to consider it as a Math problem.

angle1              180-v=116
angle2, base         v
angle3, base         v
SUM                 180

v=64
but this assigning fails.
v%2Bv%2B116=180
64%2B64%2B116=180
FALSE!

You could try to assign which angle to be variable, differently and find what happens.
