Ok, let´s see the answer

the sides are :

4x

5x + 3

7x - 1

we have the perimeter, then :

4x + 5x + 3 + 7x - 1 = 130

16x = 130 - 2

16x = 128

x = 128 / 16

x = 8 cm

also :

1° lado = 4 * 8 = 32cm

2° lado = 5 * 8 + 3 = 43

3° lado = 7 * 8 - 1 = 55

so, the shortest side will be : 32cm

This is the answer.
