Answer: The first angle is 35°, the second angle is 67° and the third angle is 78°.
Step-by-step explanation:
Wee will represent the first angle by f,the second by s, and the third by t.
If gives us the information that the second angle is 3 less than twice the first one, that can be represent by the equation s= 2f-3 .
The third angle is 8 more than twice the first so it can also be represent by the equation t= 2f + 8 .
Now we know the interior of angles of a triangle adds up to 180 degrees. so see the measures equal 180 to solve for f.
f+ (2f+8) + (2f -3) = 180 Combine like terms on the left side
5f + 5 = 180
-5 -5
5f= 175
f = 35
So the first angle is 35 degrees.
Second angle.
s=2(35) - 3
s= 70 -3
s = 67
The second angle is 67.
Third angle.
t = 2(35) + 8
t= 70 + 8
t= 78
The third angle is 78 degrees.
Now add the angles up to see if they equal 180 degrees.
35 + 67 + 78 = 180
180 = 180
