x = measure of the first angle
y = measure of the second angle
z = measure of the third angle
The second angle of a triangle measures seven more than twice that of the first angle means:
y = 2 x + 7°
The third angle measures of five more than three times that of the first means:
z = 3 x + 5°
The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°.
x + y + z = 180°
x + 2 x + 7° + 3 x + 5° = 180°
6 x + 12° = 180°
Subtract 12° to both sides.
6 x = 168°
x = 168° / 6 = 28°
y = 2 x + 7° = 2 • 28° + 7° = 56° + 7°
y = 63°
z = 3 x + 5° = 3 • 28° + 5° = 84° + 5°
z = 89°
measure of the first angle = 28°
measure of the second angle = 63°
measure of the third angle = 89°
y = measure of the second angle
