document.write( "Question 143116: Jenny wants to utilize a portion of her garden for growing flowers. Being a designer herself, she visualizes a triangular area with different lengths for each side. For this Jenny decides to keep a side of the triangular area 5 feet shorter and the other 4 feet longer than the third side. She also wants to restrict the perimeter of the triangular area to 29 feet, so that it does not cover a huge area of the garden. Determine the length of each side of the triangular area that Jenny has visualized.

side 1=x-5
\n" ); document.write( "side 2=x+4
\n" ); document.write( "side 3=x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Side 1+ side 2+ side 3=29
\n" ); document.write( "(x-5)+(x+4)+(x)=29\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "3x-1=29\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add one to each side
\n" ); document.write( "3x=30\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 3
\n" ); document.write( "x=10\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore,
\n" ); document.write( "side 1=5
\n" ); document.write( "side 2=14
\n" ); document.write( "side 3=10
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
