Question 778879

Hi, I just needed to know how to put the below equation together for this problem.

In triangle ABC, the angle C is six times as large as angle A.  The measure of angle B is 60 greater than that of angle A.  Find the measure of the angles. 

Below is what I got out of reading the above question.

C= 6x

B= 60+x

A= x

How do I put this together into an equation? Would it be 

6x = x (60+x)

Thank you so much! I have such a hard time with word problems.  


The measures of the angles of a triangle sum to {{{180^o}}}, so {{{6x + 60 + x + x = 180}}}. Solve this to find:

x, or A: the smallest angle


60 + x, or B: the middle angle


6x, or C: the largest angle.
