I would love to show you some of my work, but word problems look like German to me. I have stared at this problem for an hour now, reviewed my notes, examples, and if I could just understand on how to set this up I know I could solve it. Thanks. Answer by lwsshak3(11628) (Show Source):

**
let x= first angle
x/3+20=second angle
..
x+x/3+20=90
x+x/3=70
3x+x=210
4x=210
x=52.5
x/3+20=
first angle=52.5º
second angle=37.5º
