    First side; 5 in

    second side: 12 in

    third side: 11 in

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A: first side B: second side C: third side

    b = a + 7

    c = 3a - 4

    a + b + c = 28

    a + (a + 7) + (3a - 4) = 28

    5a + 3 = 28

    5a = 28 - 3 = 25

    a = 5

    b = 12

    c = 11
