    The length of the shorter wire is 12 cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us assume that the 27 cm wire is cut into two pieces of length x cm and so the longer part would be x+3 cm.

    Now we know that the total length of the wire is 27cm so

    x + (x+3) = 27

    2x+3 = 27

    2x = 27-3

    2x = 24

    x = 12 cm
