Answer:

  can't be done. x = 6, not 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Without the diagram we must speculate that the 150 cm length is the hypotenuse. Then we have ...

  150² = (7x)² +(24x)² = (49 +576)x² = 625x² . . . . Pythagorean relation

  150²/625 = x² = 36 . . . . . divide by 625

  x = √36 . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root

  x = 6
