let s = the length of the smallest side
:
The largest side of a triangle is six more units than the smaller side
s + 6 = the largest side
:
and the third side is twice the smallest side
2s = the third side
:
and the perimeter of the triangle is 25 units what would be and good equation to find the length of all three sides?
s + (s+6) + 2s = 25
