    X + (x+2) + (x+4) = 87

    3x = 81 - > x = 27

    So the longest will be 27 + 4 = 31

    3 consecutive odd numbers ... x, x + 2, x + 4

    P = a + b + c

    87 = x + x + 2 + x + 4

    87 = 3x + 6

    87 - 6 = 3x

    81 = 3x

    27 = x

    x + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29

    x + 4 = 27 + 4 = 31

    ur 3 sides are 27,29,31 ... with 31 being the longest
