Answer:

The answers are
(33)/(2) ,10\ and\ (5)/(3) .

Explanation:

Given:

Perimeter is 25.

2x-8

2x+5

30-3x

Now, to solve for
x.

So, the first equation to solve:


2x-8=25

Adding both sides by 8 we get:


2x=33

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:


x=(33)/(2)

Then, the second equation to be solve:


2x+5=25

Subtracting both sides by 5 we get:


2x=20

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:


x=10.

And, the third equation to solve:


30-3x=25

Subtracting both sides by 30 we get:


-3x=-5

Dividing both sides by -3 we get:


x=(5)/(3)

Therefore, the answers are
(33)/(2) ,10\ and\ (5)/(3) .
