A triangular-shaped deck has one side that is 3 feet longer than the shortest side and a third side that is 3 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side. If the perimeter of the deck is 48 feet, what are the lengths of the three sides? The shortest side of the deck is (Simplify your answer.) The next-longest side of the deck is (Simplify your answer.) The longest side of the deck is (Simplify your answer.)
