Answer:

55°, 40° and 85°

Explanation:

For a given triangle, the sum of its interior angles is equal to 180°.

Here, the interior angles are
2x + 15, x+ 20 and
3x +25.


2x+15+x+20+3x+25=180\\6x+60=180\\6x=180-60\\6x=120\\x=20

Now, plug in 20 for x and evaluate each angle.

So,
2x+15= 2(20)+15=55°


x+20=20+20=40°


3x+25=3(20)+25=60+25=85°

Therefore, the measures of the angles of the triangles are 55°, 40° and 85°.
