A certain triangle has a perimeter of 3080 mi. The shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle​ side, and the longest side measures 373 mi more than the middle side. Find the lengths of the three sides.

m + (m - 71) + (m + 373) = 3,080

926?

Thank you.

That doesn't answer the question.

Find the lengths of the three sides.

The problem I am having is trying to figure out how to start.

Can't figure out the sides if I dont know how to start.

First, find the value of m, using that equation. M is the middle side.

The shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle​ side,

and the longest side measures 373 mi more than the middle side

middle side is 926

so 926-71 for the shortest side?

855
okay I got it, thank you.

Yes. middle side is 926

so 926-71 for the shortest side?

How long is the longest side?
