One side of a rectangle is three yards longer than twice the length of the other side. If the perimeter is 27 yards, what is the length of the other side? Please help I'll give brainliest

Length of the other side of the rectangle will be 10 yards.

       Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + Width)

Given in the question,

Let one side of the rectangle = x yards

Therefore, other side of the rectangle = (2x + 3) yards

Substitute the values in the expression for the perimeter,

Perimeter = 2[x + (2x + 3)]

27 = 2(3x + 3)  [Simplify the equation]

27 = 6x + 6

6x = 21

x = 3.5 yards

Other side of the rectangle = (2x + 3) yards

                                              = 2(3.5) + 3

                                              = 10 yards

      Therefore, length of the other side of the rectangle will be 10 yards.

Length of sides ;

3.5 yards ; 10 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Side 1 = x

Side 2 = y

x = 2y + 3

Perimeter (P) of rectangle = 2(side1 + side2)

Perimeter, P = 27

P = 2(x + y)

27 = 2(2y + 3 + y)

27 = 2(3y + 3)

27 = 6y + 6

27 - 6 = 6y

21 = 6y

y = 21/6

y = 3.5

From ; x = 2y + 3

x = 2(3.5) + 3

x = 7 + 3

x = 10

-14 is the answer

hope this : ))
