41
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for x
a^2 +b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
9^2 +40^2 = x^2
81 +1600 = c^2
1681 = c^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(1681) = sqrt(c^2)
41 = c
2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)
4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10
4x + 6 = 4x + 6
4x - 6 + 6 = 4x - 6 + 6
4x = 4x
x = x
