The answer to the question is 235.5
Let S be the first side.
Longest side is then 2S.
Third side is 2S-10.
Perimeter is sum of all three sides = S+2S+2S-10 = 75
=>
5S-10=75
5S=75+10=85
S=17
Therefore
S=17 is the first side.
Longest side is then 2S=2*17=34.
Third side is 2S-10=2*17-10=24.

Answer: Choice D
(x - 8) and (x - 3)
===============================================
Explanation:
The term "root" is the same as "zeros of a function".
If 3 is a root, then x = 3 leads to x-3 = 0 after subtracting 3 from both sides.
If 8 is a root, then x = 8 leads to x-8 = 0 for similar reasoning
Use of the zero product property allows us to combine those two rules into the following
(x-3)(x-8) = 0
This shows that the two factors are (x-8) and (x-3)
The order of the factors doesn't matter because we can multiply two numbers in any order.
