Angle A is 2x + 3
Angle B is 4x + 2
Angle C is 2x - 1

The three angles add up to 180
So:
2x + 3 + 4x + 2 + 2x - 1 = 180
Combine terms
8x + 4 = 180
Subtract 4
8x = 176
x = 22

Now we solve for the angles:
Angle A is 2(22) + 3 = 44 + 3 = 47
Angle B is 4(22) + 2 = 88 + 2 = 90
Angle C is 2(22) - 1 = 44 - 1 = 43

Quick check: 47 + 90 + 43 = 180
