Answer:
-40
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is a ratio, we have 2x : 3x : 4x. When we add all three, we get 180 degrees. So that is 9x = 180 degrees. That takes us to x = 20. So, 2(20) : 3(20) : 4(20) = 40 : 60 : 80. Now, following the question, the largest angle - three times the smallest = 80 - 3(40) = 80 - 120 = -40. However, please do not completely trust this answer, I am not 100% sure.
