two of the angles in a triangle have the same measure and the third angle measures 15 more than each of the other two what is the measure of each angle
-----------------------
Let the measure of each of the equal angles be "x".
Then the measure of the 3rd angle is x+15.
-------------------------------------------
Equation:
x + x + x+15 = 180
3x = 165
x = 55 degrees (each of the equal angles)
x+15 = 70 degrees (the 3rd angle)
