If triangles PQR and STU are similar then PQ corresponds to ST and PR corresponds to SU. Therefore, PQ/ST=PR/SU
Considering that, PQ= 7-x, ST= 13-x, PR= x²+5 and SU= x² +20
therefore, (7-x)/(13-x)= (x²+5)/(x²+20)
cross multiplying,
7x² +140-x³+20x =13x²+65-x³-5x
combining the like terms,
6x² +15x -75=0
solving for x,
x = 5/2 or -5
Answer:
i hope you find the answer but unfortunaatly im not sure
Step-by-step explanation: thankyou for the points though :)

All the information you need is in the quadratic trinomial ... Read from right to left:
Find factors of 49 which ADD (+) to give 14.
These will be 7
and
7 because:
7
×
7
=
49
and
7
+
7
=
14
The + sign shows that the signs in the brackets will be the SAME, the minus (-) shows that they will be negative:
(
x
−
7
)
(
x
−
7
)
=

Direct variation is of the form y=kx (inverse variation is of the form y=k/x)
