x^2
(x+7)^2=x^2+10^2 x^2+14x+49=x^2+100 14x+49=100 14x=51 x=3.64

It's a right triangle. So

(x²) + (10²) = (7+x)²

x² + 100 = 49 + x² + 14x

That may look ugly, but I'm pretty sure you can handle it from this point.

Wow ! I just noticed that you can subtract x² from each side
and not even have to mess with it again.
