Answer:
x = 12
(getting to the 20 character limit, please ignore this)
(b^2+5)(−b^2+7)
Use the FOIL METHOD to expand.
-b^4 + 7b^2 - 5b^2 + 35
-b^4 + 2b^2 + 35
Did you follow?
It is a similar triangle so the side length of the smaller triangle (x and x-2) are in the same ratio as the bigger triangle (2x+5 and 2x-1). As the ratio is the same, you can equate them and solve for x.
