    The shortest sides is 3x-10

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This is because if you do the algebra which is 4x+3+2x+8+3x-10=136, x=15. Now that you have 15 you plug it into each sides x value. First, 4x+3 = 4*15+3=63

    Second, 2x+8=30+8=38

    Lastly, 3x-10=45-10=35

    So, as you can see here 35 is the lowest value which means the side (3x-10) is the shortest.
