side1=a
side2=b
side3=c
side 1 is 6 inches longer than the second side
a=6+b
b=b
side3 is 5 inches shorter than the second side
c=b-5
*notice that now all the lengths are using the variable b

We knoq side2 is 8.
side1 is 6 inches longer than side2, so side1 is 14.
side3 is 5 inches shorter than side2, so side3 is 3
The length of the sides are 14,3,8.
