You could use the law of sin to find each side.
It would be set up as follows:
2y/(2z -y) = Side B /sin(x + y + 10) = Side C/ sin( 3x - z + 20)
=================================================================
To find side B:
2y/(2z -y) = Side B /sin(x + y + 10) =
2y * (sin(x + y - 10))/ sin(2z - y).
This would be side b, the best we are able to determine it from the information given.
==================================================================
To find side C:
2y/(2z -y) = Side C/sin( 3x - z + 20) =
2y * (sin(3x -z+20))/ sin(2z - y)
This would be side c, the best we are able to determine it from the information given.
======================================================================
To find our perimeter, we would add the three.
2y + 2y * (sin(x + y - 10))/ sin(2z - y) + 2y * (sin(3x -z+20))/ sin(2z - y)
The only thing left we can do is factor out a 2y.
(2y) (1 + (sin(x + y - 10))/ sin(2z - y) + (sin(3x -z+20))/ sin(2z - y))
=======================================================================
