The length of the third side is a-2.
Given that:
Perimeter of triangle: 6a + 3
Length of first side: 2(a+3)
Length of second side: 3a -1
Let the length of the third side of the triangle be x.
Then as perimeter of a triangle is sum of lengths of all 3 sides of the triangle, thus we have:
Thus we have length of the third side as a -2.
