you want the difference between the largest and smallest angle. in other words, you want to find 3x - x = 2x

so find x and we will know the answer.

the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, thus:

x + 2x + 3x = 180

can you find x?

The sum of all angles is

So,

Now, find the angles and the difference.
