Question
Find the measures of the angles of a triangle if the measure of one angle is twice the measure of a second angle and the third angle measures 3 times the second angle decreased by 12
Step 1
According to the problem, the measure of the second angle is twice the first angle, so it is $2x$. The third angle measures three times the second angle decreased by 12, so it is $3(2x) - 12 = 6x - 12$. Show more…
