A + b + c = 12
c = (a + b) - 2.....c - a - b = -2
3a + 1 = 2c

add the first 2 equations
a + b + c = 12
-a - b + c = -2
------------------add
2c = 10
c = 5 <== longest side is 5

sub in 5 for c in the 3rd equation
3a + 1 = 2c
3a + 1 = 2(5)
3a + 1 = 10
3a = 10 - 1
3a = 9
a = 3 <== shortest side

now sub in 5 for c and 3 for a back into the first equation
a + b + c = 12
3 + b + 5 = 12
b + 8 = 12
b = 12 - 8
b = 4 <== other side
