Answer:

  x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find x using either the measure of angle B, or the measure of angle A.

Using A, we have ...

  48 = x^2 -8x

Adding 16 completes the square:

  64 = x^2 -8x +16 = (x -4)^2

Then the positive solution is ...

  √64 = x -4

  x = 4 +8 = 12

The triangles are similar when x=12.

Check

We expect angle B to be 84° when x=12:

  (x^2 -5x) = x(x -5) = 12(7) = 84 . . . . as needed
