x = 5

1) Given that E is the Cicumcenter we can write the following about it

2) The distance from circumcenter to all of their vertices from that triangle are the same, so we can write:

NE =EP Line segments that connect the vertices N, and P

13x -28 = 6x +7

13x -6x = 28 +7

7x = 35

x= 5

3) Hence, x = 5
