    Let say that:

    side one = A

    side two = B

    side three = C

    And also, A+B+C = 80

    Then, from that information we can get ...

    A=4B; C=A-10 ... We can get the value of A, but we have to modified some equation.

    Let, B=1/4 A ... (eq. 1)

    C=A-10 ... (eq. 2)

    If we adding eq. 1 and eq. 2 we get:

    B+C = 2A-39/4

    Therefore,

    A = 80 - (B+C)

    A = 80 - 2A + 39/4

    3A = 80 + 39/4

    3A = 359/4 (Dividing both sides with 3)

    A = 359/12 = 29.92

    B = 1/4 A = 359/48 = 7.48

    C = 359/12 - 10 = 19.92
