Urgent please help !!!!

Answer 1

In triangle MNP and UST,

If both triangles are similar than their ratio of corresponding sides are equal.

$⟹\frac{NM}{NQ} = \frac{TS}{US}$

$⟹\frac{5x-2}{39} = \frac{3x+1}{26}$

$⟹(5x-2) (26) = (3x+1) (39)$

$⟹130x-52 = 117x+39$

$⟹130x-117x = 39+52$

$⟹13x = 91$

$⟹x = 7$
