The perimeter of a triangle is 133 inches. if one side of the triangle is five more than the shortest side, and the longest side is 14 more than the shortest side, find the lengths of the three sides?

side 1 = x

side 2 = x+5

side 3 = x+14

perimeter = side 1 + side 2 + side 3

133 = x + (x+5) + (x +14)

133=3x + 19

114=3x

x=114/3 = 38

side 1 = 38

side 2 = x+5 = 38+5 = 43

side 3 = x+14 = 38+14 = 52

38+43+52 = 133

side lengths are 38, 43 & 52
