You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I presume, since you gave no indication otherwise, that your "s, s + 6, ..." is the relationship of the sides on the sign. The fact that you capitalized some of your variables and not others notwithstanding, I'm also going to out on a limb and presume that all of your variables are supposed represent the same quantity. Given these assumptions, simply add all of the expressions for the sides, set the sum equal to 102, solve for s, and then calculate the lengths of each of the sides using that value for s.
Next time, explain yourself more fully and remember that S and s are two different things. We only have what you write to go on, and you just make it more difficult for us to help you when you are sloppy and incomplete in your explanations.
