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.

-(x+3) = 2x-6 what is x
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first you make sure to multiply the parenthesis by the negative so then it would be,

-x-3=2x-6

Then you add the -3 from the right to the other side

so, -x=2x-3

Then you want all the X variables to one side so you subtract the 2x to both sides.

so, -3x=-3

divide both by -3

x=1
