    Let S be the first side.

    Longest side is then 2S.

    Third side is 2S-10.

    Perimeter is sum of all three sides = S+2S+2S-10 = 75

    =>

    5S-10=75

    5S=75+10=85

    S=17

    Therefore

    S=17 is the first side.

    Longest side is then 2S=2*17=34.

    Third side is 2S-10=2*17-10=24.
