<span>9c+(8+3c)
9c+8+3c (collect like terms)
9c+3c+8
12c+8
12c+8 is the answer.
im not sure if your teacher also wants the answer to be in simplest form so im going to do that below as well:
12c+8 (4*3=12 and 4*2=8. you can take out a 4 from those 2 numbers)
4(3c+2) (this is the simplest form of </span>9c+(8+3c)<span>)

If we refer to the longest side as x and the shortest side as y and the medium side as z then we come up with this formation:
x+y+z= 22
y is shorter than x by 5 inches so y= x-5
z is longer than y by 2 inches therefore z= x-5 +2
therefore:
x+(x-5)+(x-5+2)=22
x+x-5+x-5+2=22
3x-8=22
3x= 22-8
3x=14
x=

replace x in y and z in previous formations
