    Let o represent the obtuse angle, and let the base angle be represented by b. Then you have

    ... o = 2.5b

    ... o + 2b = 180

    Substituting the first equation into the second, you have

    ... 2.5b + 2b = 180

    ... 4.5b = 180

    ... b = 180/4.5 = 40

    ... o = 2.5*40 = 100

    The obtuse angle is 100°; the base angles are 40°.
