You can write a proportion because the two triangles are similar

\frac{x}{x-2} = \frac{x + x + 5}{x + 1 + x - 2} (the second fraction is longer because I added the full lengths of the larger triangle)  cross multiply to get (x)(x + 1 + x - 2) = (x - 2)(x + x + 5)

which simplifies to (x)(2x - 1) = (x - 2)(2x + 5)

then 2x² - x = 2x² + 5x -4x - 10

then 2x² - x = 2x² + x - 10

then 2x² = 2x² + 2x - 10

subtract 2x² from both sides to get 0 = 2x - 10

add 10 to both sides to get 10 = 2x

divide both sides by 2 to get 5 = x

15x²+16x+4 =0      (ax² +bx +c=0)

Δ = b²-4ac =256 - 4×15×4 =16

x1 = (-b+√Δ) / 2a = (-16+√16) / 30 =( -16+4) / 30 = -12/30 = - 2/5
x2 = (-b -√Δ) / 2a = (-16 -√16) / 30 = (-16 -4) /30 = -20/30 = -2/3

Answer:

From the given parallelogram;

m<XWC = m<XYC

Given

m<XWC = 2x+5

m<XYC = 3x+2

Equate

2x+5 = 3x+2

2x - 3x = 2 - 5

-x = -3

x = 3

Hence the value of x is 3
