If the three angles of a triangle are x/3, x/3, and x, what is the value of x?

I tried to do it like this:

X/3 + X/3 + X = 180
(X/3 + X/3) x 3 + X = 180 x 3
3X= 540
540/3 = 180
x = 180

Obviously that's not right. So how do I do this? I don't know what to do...

Here is the topic: [Being Unprepared] Because you have been sick, out of town, busy at work, or working on other homework, you didn't have as much time to study for an important test as you needed. Think of a specific test you took that you felt unprepared for and narrate the events. Tell your readers about the preparation that you were able to do, the reasons that you didn't get to prepare as well as you wanted, taking the test, and any significant events that happened after you took the test. Your paper should help readers understand what it felt like to be unprepared.

Now here's the question: How can I catch the reader's attention in the topic sentence/first paragraph? Can you help?
