That is the correct regression, upon which you have imposed the constraint a + b + c = 1, therefore c = 1 - a - b
if you
regress yx3 x1x3 x2x3 (naming the transformed variables in that manner) then
lincom 1 - x1x3 - x2x3
will compute a point and interval estimate of c.
You might find an econometrics book such as Wooldridge, Introductory Econometrics, useful.
