I don't have the diagram or the side expressions, so I can't compute x yet. Could you upload the figure or paste the side lengths/expressions for the two right triangles?

How to solve once I have it:
- HL (Hypotenuse–Leg) applies only to right triangles. You must identify the hypotenuse and one corresponding leg in each triangle.
- Set the two hypotenuse expressions equal (or the two corresponding leg expressions equal) and solve for x.
- Check that the solved x makes the other corresponding side(s) equal as required and gives positive lengths.

If you post the diagram or the two side expressions, I'll solve for x and pick the correct choice (2, 3, 4, or 7).
