Answer:

56,58,60

Explanation:

x = 1st side of triangle

x+2 = 2nd side

x+4 = 3rd side

P = side1 + side 2 + side 3

174 = x+ x+2 + x+4

Combine like terms

174 = 3x+6

Subtract 6 from each side

174 -6 = 3x+6-6

168 = 3x

Divide by 3

168/3 = 3x/3

56 =x

1st side = 56

2nd side = 58

3rd side = 60
