    An equilateral triangle has equal sides

    so if you divide the perimeter by 3 you would get the length for all of the sides

    21/3 = 7

    since it said it was decreased by 3 inches you add 3 inches back

    7 + 3 = 10

    so the original length of one side of the triangle is 10 inches
