Answer:

Longest\ side=20\ inches\\\\Middle\ side=15\ inches\\\\Shortest\ side=6\ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the lenght of the longest side, "y" the lenght of the middle side and "z" the lenght of the shortest side.

The perimeter is:

41=x+y+z       [Equation 1]

We know that the longest side is 10 less than twice the middle side length. This can be expressed as:

x=2y-10          [Equation 2]

And the middle side length is three less than three times the shortest side length. This is:

y=3z-3         [Equation 3]

The steps are:

- Solve for "z" from the third equation:

y=3z-3\\\\y+3=3z

z=\frac{y+3}{3}    [Equation 4]

- Substitute [Equation 4] into [Equation 1]

- Substitute [Equation 2] into [Equation 1]

Then:

41=(2y-10)+y+(\frac{y+3}{3})

- Solve for "y":

41=2y-10+y+\frac{y+3}{3}\\\\41=2y-10+y+\frac{y}{3}+1\\\\41=\frac{10}{3}y-9\\\\41+9=\frac{10}{3}y\\\\\frac{50*3}{10}=y\\\\y=\frac{150}{10}\\\\y=15

- Substitute this value into [Equation 2] and into [Equation 4]:

x=2(15)-10\\\\x=20

z=\frac{(15)+3}{3}\\\\z=6

(10-3)*2+(5-14/2 help
Dafna11 [192]
2(10-3) distribute = 2*10 is 20 and 2*3 is 6
20-6+(5-14/2)
now 20-6 is 14
14+(5-14/2)
now 14/2 is 7
14+(5-7)
now 5-7 is -2
14+-2
is 12 
the answer is 12
but if you want to you can do 12/3 to get the greatest common factor 
which is 4
hope i help you :P
