    The sides are 3, 4, and 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let one side be 'n', if the side lengths are consecutive integers, we have

    n

    n + 1

    and

    n + 2 are our side lengths. adding 1 to n gives us the next integer. Adding 2 to n gives use the second consecutive integer to n

    The perimeter is 12, so our equation is ...

    n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 12

    Now combine like terms and solve ...

    n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 12

    3n + 3 = 12

    3n = 9 (subtract 3 from both is sides)

    n = 3 (divide by 3 on both sides)

    Since n = 3,

    n + 1 = 4 and

    n + 2 = 5

    So the sides are 3, 4, and 5
