Answer:
TS=22
Step-by-step explanation: Since we know the triangles are proportional, we need to set up an proportion to find TS. First, let find which sides are correspond with each, TS and MN does and US and NQ does. So we set up a proportion that includes.
TS/US=MN/NQ: Let plug in the numbers
3x+1/26=5x-2/39: Then cross multiply
39(3x+1)=26(5x-2): Then simplify
117x+39=130x-52: Subtract 117x from both sides
39=13x-52: Add 52 to both sides
91=13x: Divide 13 by both sides
7=x: Then plug it in to TS
3(7)+1=22
