Arturo is building a flower bed in the shape of a right triangle. The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 13 feet. One of the legs needs to be 7 feet longer than the other leg. What equation can be used to find x, the length of the shorter leg?

Well, its as easy as setting up an equation: \[(13)^2 = x+ (x+7)\] now its just a matter of solving for "x"
