Answer:

The value of x is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle triangle, you can apply Pythagoras theorem, side² + side² = hypo² :

(x + 3)² + 10² = (x + 5)²

x² + 6x + 9 + 100 = x² + 10x + 25

x² + 6x + 109 - x² - 10x - 25 = 0

-4x + 84 = 0

-4x = -84

4x = 84

x = 84 ÷ 4

x = 21 units
