Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to know the value of x, given that NM = 5x-1 and QP = 3x+5 in congruent triangles NMQ and QPN.
CPCTC
Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, so we have ...
NM = QP
5x -1 = 3x +5
2x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . add 1-3x
x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
