Explanation:

BC is tangent to the circle with center A at point C and AC is radius.


\therefore AC \perp BC\\</p><p>\therefore \angle ACB =90°\\

Now by Pythagorean theorem:


AB^2 = AC^2 + BC^2 \\</p><p>\therefore AC^2 = AB^2-BC^2\\</p><p></p><p>\therefore x^2 = 17^2-14^2\\</p><p>\therefore x^2 =289-196\\</p><p>\therefore x^2 =93\\</p><p>\therefore x =√(93)\\</p><p>\therefore x =9.64365076\\</p><p>\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore x = 9.64\: units}}
