you got 7/6 which is already real number

Hi! If I can chime in, it's true that 7/6 seems like the only answer to your equation. As you said, in order to be a right angled triangle, it needs to verify the Pythagorean equation. Buuuut, if you look at the sides of your triangle, they have length 7/6+1=13/6 and... 7/6-2=-5/6. A negative value! But a length cannot be a negative value, right? So the actual answer is no, there is no real number.
In other words: If a number like that did exist, it would have to check the Pythagorean equality. The only number that does is 7/6, as you have very well checked. So, the only candidate now is 7/6... But it fails in another way, because it gives us a negative value for one of the sides!
Kind of a cool trick question
Plus, the exercice tells us x has to be greater to 2 (to precisely avoid that problem) which 7/6 is not haha

How do we find the inverse function.
