ANSWER:

The value of x is 16

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

With the information given, they tell us that TVQ can be expressed in two ways, but in the end the value must be the same because it is the same angle.

Thanks to this we can make the following equality:

[tex]5x-22=3x+10[/tex]

Solving for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5x-3x=22+10 \\ 2x=32 \\ x=\frac{32}{2} \\ x=16 \end{gathered}[/tex]
