From question,
\(x+3 + 2x-3 + 3x - 5 = 25\)
or, \(6x - 5 = 25\)
or, \(6x = 30\)
or,\(x = 5\)
let us find the length of each sides.
\(x+3 = 8\)
\(2x-3 = 7\)
\(3x-5 = 10\)
Therefore the smallest side is 7.
\(x+3 + 2x-3 + 3x - 5 = 25\)
or, \(6x - 5 = 25\)
or, \(6x = 30\)
or,\(x = 5\)
let us find the length of each sides.
\(x+3 = 8\)
\(2x-3 = 7\)
\(3x-5 = 10\)
Therefore the smallest side is 7.
