The second angle of a triangle is twice as large as the first angle. The third angle is 35 greater than the second angle. How large is the first angle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  29°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first angle. Then the second angle is 2x, and the third angle is 2x+35°. The sum of the angles is 180°, so we have ...

  x + 2x + (2x+35) = 180

  5x +35 = 180 . . . . collect terms

  x +7 = 36 . . . . . . . divide by 5

  x = 29 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 7

The first angle is 29°.
