Answer:

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

longest section 1 = a

mid length section 2 = b

shortest section 3 = x

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

5x + 5 = 40

5x = 35

x = 7

b = 12

a = 21
