Answer:

7, 23, and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, let's go through this. We know that the perimeter is 50 and the perimeter must be all the sides added together. let's write that down

n + 4n - 5 + 2n +6 = 50

Let's combine like terms

7n + 1 = 50

subtract 1 from each side

7n = 49

Divide both sides by 7

n = 7

We know that one of the sides is n, so part of our answer is 7. Now let's plug in n for the other values

4(7) - 5 = 23

2(7) +6 = 20

The answer is 7, 23, and 20
