Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

First would need to convert the radical into a number.

And since if you have a perfect square of a radical it goes outside the square root sign, you would take the 3 and square it to make 9 and then take the 2 inside the square root sign and multiply so you have the square root of 18|

Since we have $\sqrt{18}$ as the Leg c we would need to square it, squaring a square root sign would just cause them to be cancelled out and you being left with 18, afterwards find the square of 3, which is 9

18-9=9

square root of 9 = 3
