X=5

3x+2-5x=5x-8-5x

-2x+2=-8

-subtract 2 from both side
-then you divide both sides by -2

3x + 2 = 5x - 8
Flip
5x - 8 = 3x + 2
Subtract both sides by 3x
2x - 8 = 2
Add both sides by 8
2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2
x = 5

That's your answer.

Have an awesome day! :)

alexandr1967 [171]

First. we use the Pythagorean theorem:
$a {}^{2} + b {}^{2} = c {}^{2}$
Add the numbers in
${30}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {50}^{2}$
start simplifying
${b}^{2} = 1600$
$b = 40$

So, the leg has a length of 40 mm.
