#2x-10 + 5x+5 + 3x = 180#

Explanation:

All angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees
So all the angles added together must equal 180
You can then work the equation out by adding all like terms so you are left with
#10x -5 = 180#
You can then take the five over too the other side where it becomes positive so:
#10x = 185#
and then take the ten over to the other side where it divides
#x = 18.5#
Then replace #x# in your original angles to figure out each individual angle
