The sum of the measures of the angles of any triangle is 180°. In triangle ABC, angles A and B have the same measure, while the measure of angle C is75° larger than each of A and B. What are the measures of the three angles?
Help Please!! I don't know what steps to do.

If A and B have angle x, then you have,
x + x + (x+75) = 180
3x + 75 = 180
3x = 105
x = 35
Angles A and B are 35 degrees. C is 110 degrees.
Okay, we know the area of any triangle is 180 degrees.
The problem also tells you that angle C is 75 degrees larger than A and B, it also states that A and B have the same angle.
Angle A= x, Angle B = x and angle c = x+75
putting this all together.....x+x+(x+75) = 180 degrees
Now...3x + 75 =180
subtract 75 from both sides give us
3x=105
x = 35 degrees.
so now plug 35 degrees into your equations for A, B and C
A = 35 degrees, B = 35 degrees and C = 35 degrees +75 degrees = 110 degrees
Since m<A = m<B, we can let m<A = m<B = x. Then, since m<C is 75 degrees more than both m<A and m<B, we can let m<C = x + 75.
So:
m<A + m<B + m<C = 180
==> x + x + (x + 75) = 180
==> 3x + 75 = 180
==> 3x = 105
==> x = 35.
This gives m<A = m<B = 35 degrees and m<C = 35 + 75 = 110 degrees.
I hope this helps!
A+B+C =180.......Eq.1
As A=B=x(say) so Eq.1 becomes
x+x+C =180.....Eq.2
As C is 75 more than A so C=x+75 and therefore Eq.2 becomes
x+x+x+75=180
or
3x=180-75
or
3x=105 giving
x=105/3
...=35 degrees
Therefore
A=35°
B=35°
C=35+75=110°
Use the records you are able to desire to make simultaneous equations A + B + C = a hundred and eighty attitude A measures one hundred ranges below the sum of the measures of attitude B and attitude C so A - one hundred = B+C combine those 2 A + A-one hundred = a hundred and eighty 2A = 80 A = forty the measures of attitude C is forty ranges below two times the degree of attitude B C + forty = 2B B + C = one hundred forty Subtract those 2 equations forty - B = 2B - one hundred forty 3B = a hundred and eighty B = 60 C = 80
c=a+75
a=b
a+a+a+75=180
3a=105
a=35
b=35
c=110
