Answer:

The answer to your question is:   side 3 = 2a + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Triangle

side 1 = 5a + 3 inches

side 2 = 2a + 3 inches

side 3 = ?

Perimeter = 9a + 12

Process

               Perimeter = side 1 + side 2 + side 3

             

              9a + 12 = (5a + 3) + (2a + 3) + side 3

              side 3 = 9a + 12 - 5a - 3 - 2a - 3

              side 3 = 2a + 6
