Question 919183: One side of a triangle is 4m longer,and another 3m longer than the shortest side.if the perimeter of the triangle is 25m,find the lengths of the three side
-My tried solution 2(3x+x+4x)=25
6x+2x+4x=25
12x=25
x=2.08,so lenths are 4m,5.08m,2.08m

You can put this solution on YOUR website! One side of a triangle is 4m longer,and another 3m longer than the shortest side.if the perimeter of the triangle is 25m,find the lengths of the three side
------------------------------
shortest:: x
2nd:: x+4
3rd:: x+3
-----
Equation::
x + x+4 + x+3 = 25
3x + 7 = 25
3x = 18
x = 6 (shortest)
x+4 = 10
x+3 = 9
---------------
