Answer:

x=19

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you place the numbers in place of the variables in their relative positions using the pythagorean theorem:

15^{2} +x^{2}=24^{2}

Then you square the numbers that you currently have:

225+x^{2}=576

Then subtract 225 from both sides to isolate the x:

x^{2} =576-225

This gives you the equation:

x^{2} =351

Then take the square root of both sides which gives you:

x=18.7349939952

Then round to the nearest whole number which gives you x=19
