Answer:

x = 87

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio SR / RV is equal the ratio ST / TU (both ratios are equal to 1), and the angle in the vertex S is the same for both triangles SUV and STR, so we can affirm that these triangles are similar (case S-A-S).

Then, we have that the ratio SR / SV is the same as RT / UV:

SR / SV = RT / UV = 1 / 2

RT * 2 = UV

2*(x - 37) = x + 13

2x - 74 = x + 13

x = 87
