you should use Pythagoras' theorem. meaning side AB squared + BC squared = 9 squared.


(try to understand this because  i have no idea how to write squared on the keyboard sorry.. by (2) i mean squared)

8x comes from the squaring of (x+4)
it expands to x(2)+4x+4x+16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
so then:

x(2)+x(2)+8x+16=9(2)
2x(2)+ 8x-65=0
2x(2)+8x-65=0

by solving (x+4) squared.

That means (x+4)(x+4)
