Answer:

Below in bold.

Explanation:

We see from the diagram that:

SY = SK + KY

So, substituting the given values:-

36 - x = 13x - 5 + 2x + 9

-x - 13x - 2x = - 5 + 9 - 36

-16x = -32

x = 32/16 = 2.

So SK = 13(2) - 5 = 21.

KY = 2(2) + 9 = 13.

SY = 36 - 2 = 34.

21 + 13 = 34 so this is a check that our calculation is correct.
