Question 276718: The second angle of a triangular field is three times as large as the first angle. The third angle is 40 degrees greater than the first angle. How large are the angles? Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sum of the angles of any triangle is 180 degrees.
Let x = first angle
Let 3x = second angle
Let x + 40 = third angle
Here is your equation:
x + 3x + x + 40 = 180
