Answer:

either you have 62.6 + 62.5 + 55

or you have 55 + 55 + 70

Explanation:

There are only two possible answers.

Either 55 degrees is by itself and the two equal angles are something other than 55 in which case you would write it as

x + x + 55 = 180 Subtract 55 from both sides

2x + 55 - 55 = 180 - 55

2x = 125 Divide by 2

x = 125/2

x = 62.5

OR

There are 2 angles that are both 55

x + 55 + 55 = 180

x + 110 = 180

x = 70
