Answer:

[tex]Side\ 3 = 2x+ 3y[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine Side 3

The perimeter of a triangle is calculated as:

[tex]Permeter = Side\ 1 + Side\ 2 + Side\ 3[/tex]

[tex]4x + 3y = x - y + x + y + Side\ 3[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]4x - x - x+ 3y-y + y = Side\ 3[/tex]

[tex]2x+ 3y = Side\ 3[/tex]

[tex]Side\ 3 = 2x+ 3y[/tex]
