\n" ); document.write( " the sides of a triangle are represented by x , 3x and 3x+2 find each side if the perimeter is 37
\n" ); document.write( " Let the first side of the triangle = a = x
\n" ); document.write( " the second side of the triangle = b = 3x
\n" ); document.write( " the third side of the triangle = c = 3x+2
\n" ); document.write( " perimeter of the triangle = p = 37
\n" ); document.write( " p = sum of all the three sides of the triangle
\n" ); document.write( " p = a+b+c
\n" ); document.write( " 37 = x+3x+3x+2
\n" ); document.write( " 37 = 7x+2
\n" ); document.write( " 37-2 = 7x
\n" ); document.write( " 35 = 7x or x= 35/7 = 5
\n" ); document.write( " therefore the sides of the triangle are, first side = a = 5
\n" ); document.write( " second side = b = 3.5 = 15
\n" ); document.write( " third side = c =3.5+2 = 17.
