Call the number n
The first angle is n + 45
The second angle is 30 less than the first angle so (n+45) - 30
The third angle is two times the number more than the first angle, so 2n more than the first angle
Therefore the third angle is 2n + (n + 45)
Do you think you can solve for the angles now?

After testing out many ways, I was able to get the solution, (x + 45) + [(x + 45) - 30] + [2x + (x + 45)] = 180. And get x= 15. This got me the first measurement, 60 degrees, the second measurement, 30 degrees, and the third measurement, 90 degrees. I proved this by adding them all up, which gave me 180 degrees.

Thank you for the response! I got this before I asked the question so I think I’m on the right track. My confusion was solving the x for it to all add up to 180. I tried making my own ways to solve for it but I wasn’t able to find the right way, thanks!09/05/21
