The algebraic property demonstrated in the example below is Transitive Property of Equality. There we can see how the first thing is equal to the second one and notice that the first one is equal to the third one too. This is a Transitive Property of Equality in a nutshel.
What is the question asking for?
Let the length of the shorter sides be x, then
Perimeter = x + x + x + 5
29 = 3x + 5
3x = 29 - 5 = 24
x = 24/3 = 8
Therefore, the length of longest side is 8 + 5 = 13 m.
