Measurement of angles
1. In a certain triangle the measure of one angle is double the measure of a second angle but is 10 degrees less than the measure of the third angle. [The sum of the measures of three interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees.] Form an algebraic equation to express the problem and identify the variables, coefficients, and constants of the algebraic expression.
