Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
x = 6 + s
y = 2s -6
x+y + s = 76
6+s + 2s-6 + s= 76
s+2s + s= 76
4s = 76
s = 76/4 = 19 feet for the shortest side
x = 25 feet
y = 2(19) -6 = 38 -6 = 32 feet
25+32 + 19 = 76

asked 10/06/21A triangular-shaped deck has one side that is 6 feet longer than the shortest side and a third side that is 6 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side. If the perimeter of the deck is 76 feet, what are the lengths of the three sides?
