Answer: The first angle is 32 degrees

The second angle is 38 degrees

The third angle is 110 degrees.

Explanation:

Let x represent the size of the first angle.

Let y represent the size of the second angle.

Let z represent the size of the third angle.

The second angle of the triangle is 6 more than the first angle. This means that

y = x + 6

The third angle is 14 more than three times the first angle. This means that.

z = 3x + 14

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. It means that

x + y + z = 180 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Substituting y = x + 6 and z = 3x + 14 into equation 2, it becomes

x + x + 6 + 3x + 14 = 180

x + x + 3x = 180 - 14 - 6

5x = 160

x = 160/5 = 32

y = x + 6

y = 32 + 6 = 38

z = 3x + 14

z = 3×32 + 14 = 96 + 14

z = 110
