    Suppose the three sides are a, b, and c, with c being the longest, a being the shortest

    first equation: c = (a+b) - 66

    second equation: 2a=c-55=> c=2a+55

    plug c=2a+55 into the first equation: 2a+55 = a+b-66 = > b=a+121

    a+b+c=a + (a+121) + (2a+55) = 7272 = >4a+176=7272 = >a=1774

    a=1774, b=1895, c=3603
