The angles of triangle $ABC$ satisfy $\angle A < \angle B < \angle C$. The difference between $\angle B$ and $\angle A$ is equal to the difference between $\angle C$ and $\angle B$. If $\angle A = 23^\circ$, then what is $\angle C$, in degrees?
+26367 The angles of triangle \(ABC\) satisfy \(\angle A < \angle B < \angle C\).
The difference between \(\angle B\) and \(\angle A\) is equal to the difference between \(\angle C\) and \(\angle B\).
If \(\angle A = 23^\circ\), then what is \(\angle C\), in degrees?
