Please explain and show the process too so I can learn better what I'm doing. I have a hard time with fractions sometimes. Thanks! :) Answer by rfer(16322) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! smallest=x
largest=3x
middle=x+10
180 degrees in a triangle
Set everything from one value, usually the smallest.
----------------
x+3x+x+10=180
5x=180-10
5x=170
x=34
3x=102
x+10=44
