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.
