Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x = length of side of square A

'x-3' represents length of side of square B

Perimeter of square A = 4x

Perimeter of square A = 4x - 12

we can set up the following proportion based on ratio of 4:3

4x / 4 = 4x - 12 / 3

cross-multiply:

4(3x) = 4(4x-12)

12x = 16x - 48

-4x = -48

x = 12
