    Length of side of new square is 17 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Let the length of the side of the old square be x. Then length of side of new square = x + 3 and Perimeter of new square = 40 + 2x

    Perimeter of a square = 4 * side

    ⇒ 4 (x + 3) = 40 + 2x

    ⇒ 4x + 12 = 40 + 2x

    ⇒ 2x = 28

    ⇒ x = 14 inches

    Step 2: Find length of side of the new square

    ⇒ x + 3 = 17 inches
