So sum the three angles and set the sum to 180o:
x + x - 6 + x + 18 = 180
3x + 12 = 180
Solve for x, then plug that value into the equation for each angle to find their measures.

asked 10/26/18Solve this exercise using the fact that the sum of the measures of the three angles of a triangle is
180°.
In a triangle, the measures of the three angles are x, x-6, x+18
What is the measure of each angle?
