This problem has infinitely many solutions because you can pick any length
between 2 and 18 for x and there could be such a triangle having sides of lengths 10, 8 and x.
`
So you apparently left something out in your typing that was given in your
textbook or assignment sheet.
`
So recheck the instructions given in your textbook or assignment carefully and
repost the problem giving the rest of the information, such as "the triangle is
a right triangle", or some other piece of information which you would have had to have been given for the problem to have only one solution.
