    4 and

    -12

    Explanation

    The octagons can be considered congruent when their areas are the same.

    That is:

    48 mm² = x² + 8x mm²

    x² + 8x = 48

    x² + 8x + 4² = 48 + 4²

    (x + 4) ² = 48 + 16

    = 64

    x + 4 = √64 or x + 4 = - √64

    x = 8 - 4 x = - 8 - 4

    = 4 = - 12
