A = 3S
B = 50+S
A+B+S = 180
3 equations 3 unknowns, solve by substitution elimination, or matrix algebra
3S +50+S + S = 180
5S = 130
S = 26 degrees = Smallest angle
A = 78 degrees
B = 76 degrees

asked 10/07/21One angle in a triangle has a measure that is three times as large as the smallest angle. The measure of the third angle is 50 degrees more than that of the smallest angle. Find the measure of the LARGEST angle.
