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.
Thank you.
That doesn't answer the question.
Find the lengths of the three sides.
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
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?
