Answer:

C. 35

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 12^2 = (x + 2)^2

x^2 + 144 = x^2 + 4x + 4

144 = 4x + 4

4x = 140

x = 35

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem (a² + b² = c², in this case a = x, b = 12 and c = x + 2) to solve for x.

x² + 12² = (x + 2)²

x² + 144 = x² + 4x + 4

144 = 4x + 4

140 = 4x

x = 35
