Since segments ST and VW are parallel, triangles VPW and SPT are similar. This is due to AAA (angle-angle-angle) theorem. In order to see this, we can draw the following picture
where we can see that angle V and angle S are the same, angle W and angle T are the same and angle P is the same in both triangles.
Now, since the triangles are similar, the following ratio must be preserved:

If we move 10 to the right hand side and 17.5 to the left hand side, we get

which is equal to

If we move 10PS to the left hand side as -10PS, we obtain

Now, since PT has the same length as PS and TW has the same length as SV, the answer is
