Answer:

Side A = 25 in

Side B = 14 in

Side C = 17 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle = 56 in

Side B = x

Side A = 2x - 3

Side C = 1/2x + 10

Perimeter of a triangle = side A + Side B + side C

56 = (2x -3) + x + (1/2x + 10)

56 = 2x - 3 + x + 1/2x + 10

56 + 3 - 10 = 2x + x + 1/2x

49 = 3 1/2x

Note: 3 1/2x = 3.5x

49 = 3.5x

x = 49/3.5

x = 14 in

Side B = x = 14 in

Side A = 2x - 3

= 2(14) - 3

= 28 - 3

= 25 in

Side C = 1/2x + 10

= 1/2(14) + 10

= 7 + 10

= 17 in
