Answer:
x = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
x^2 + 12^2 = (x+2)^2
FOIL
x^2+144=x^2+4x+4
Subtract x^2 from each side
144= 4x+4
Subtract 4 from each side
140 = 4x
Divide by 4
35 =x
