n + (3n + 2) + (5n - 6) = 41
Combine like terms.
n + 3n + 5n = 9n
Now we're left with 9n + 2 - 6
Combine +2 and -6
2 - 6 = -4
Now, we're left with 9n - 6 = 41
Add 6 to both sides,
9n = 47
Divide both sides by 9
n = 5.2
Now that we know the value of n, we can find the length of each side.
Side 1 = n
Side 1 = 5.2
Side 2 = 3n + 2
Side 2 = 3 * 5.2 + 2
Side 2 = 17.6
Side 3 = 5n - 6
Side 3 = 5 * 5.2 - 6
Side 3 = 20
