Answer:

  6x -7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the length of the third side. The perimeter is the sum of the three side lengths.

  P = a + b + c

  (17x -5) = (3x +5) +(8x -3) +c

 17x -5 = 11x +2 + c . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  6x -7 = c . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 11x+2

The third side is 6x -7 units.
