Suppose s is the length of the middle-length side. The perimeter will be 3s, and the longest side will be (s+1). The problem statement says
(3s)/2 = 14 + (s+1)
(3/2)s = 15 + s (collect terms on the right)
(1/2)s = 15 (subtract s from both sides)
s = 30 (multiply both sides by 2)
The perimeter is 3s = 90.
(3s)/2 = 14 + (s+1)
(3/2)s = 15 + s (collect terms on the right)
(1/2)s = 15 (subtract s from both sides)
s = 30 (multiply both sides by 2)
The perimeter is 3s = 90.
