The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the 3 sides.
Let x be side #1
Based on the information given, side #2 = x/2.
Based on the information given, side #3 = x-3.
Now, you can write an equation for the perimeter in terms of x:
Simplify:
That is the dimension of side #1. use the information given above to find side #2 and side #3. I will leave that part to you.
