The perimeter of a triangle is 44 inches. If one side is 5 inches longer than the
smallest side and another side is 1 inch
less than twice the smallest side, how
many inches are there in the smallest side?

The sides are  

6  inches,  8 inches and  10  inches

I'd suggest that the question should read 'The perimeter of a triangle is 24 inches. The longest side is 4 inches longer than the shortest side, and the shortest side is three-fourths the length of the middle side. How do you find the length of each side of the triangle?'

Then the shortest side is  

6

and the longest side is  

10
