How do I find 2 unknown angles in a triangle?
For example, there is an acute triangle. we only have one angle, another angle marked as x, and another angle that is (x * 3). how do we find these 2 angles?
P.S. I'm being vague because I'm not asking for answers, I'm asking for help.

Explanation:

the answer would be to deduct/minus that number from 180, the reason for this is because a triangles 3 angles add up to 180°, so if a triangle is labeled ABC and angle A is 70°, you would do 180 - 70(Angle A) which would give you 110°, meaning those other two angles would have to add up to 110, now if you have an equilateral triangle, the answer is really simple, 60° for each side.
