Answer:

To verify your final answer:

x = 4.75

2x = 9.5

x+6 = 10.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = the length of the shortest side

Then the longest side is X + 6 and the other side is 2X.

The sum of all sides equals the perimeter which equals 25.

So add them up, set it equal to 25 and solve for X.
