Two angles of a triangle have the same measure and the third one is 51 degrees greater than the measure of each of the other two. Find the measure of the LARGEST angle in the triangle.

let x,y,z be angles
x=y
z=51+y or 51+z
x+y+z=180
51+y+y+z=180
51+3y=180
solve y and put in z cause z is largest angle
x=y
z=51+y or 51+z
x+y+z=180
