Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{x=\sqrt{30}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC and ΔBDC are similar (AAA).

Therefore the corresponding sides are in proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{AC}{BC}=\dfrac{BC}{CD}[/tex]

substitute

[tex]AC=7+3=10\\{BC}=x\\CD=3[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{10}{x}=\dfrac{x}{3}[/tex]           cross multiply

[tex](10)(3)=(x)(x)\\\\30=x^2\\\\x^2=30\to x=\sqrt{30}[/tex]
