In a triangle, the measure of the first angle is five times the

measure of the second angle. The measure of the third angle
is 40 less than five times the measure of the second angle.
What is the measure, in degrees, of each angle?

Call the 2nd angle x (in degrees).
Add the 3 angles.
The sum is 180 degrees.
