HG^2 = FG * (FG + EF)

Fill in the values:

(x+3)^2 = x * (7+x)

Simplify the right side:

(x+3)^2 = 7x +x^2

Rewrite the left side using the FOIL method

x^2 + 6x + 9 = 7x +x^2

Subtract x^2 from both sides:

6x +9 = 7x

Subtract 6x from both sides:

x = 9

Now you have x solve for HG

HG = x +3 = 9+3 = 12

The answer is A.

This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)
