A triangle has three sides, the first, second, and the add up to 24, since that's the perimeter

The second side = the first (let's call it L) + 2

The third is two more then the second, so L + 2 + 2

first side = L

second = L + 2

third = L + 2 + 2

add all three together, L + L + 2 + L + 2 + 2 = 24

combine the L's and 2's

3L + 6 = 24

subtract 6 from both sides

3L = 18

divide by 3

L=6

so the first side is 6, the second is 8, the third is 10
