Check the picture below.

we know that SR = RQ, we also know the angles at the point R are four right angles, triangles TRS and TRQ are sharing the same side of TR, that makes those two triangles congruent triangles by right-triangles LL theorem.

Likewise, triangles VRS and VRQ are sharing the side RV and thus those triangles are also congruent triangles by right-triangles LL theorem.

due to congruent triangles, then TQ = 3x+2 and 4x-1 = 15.

Answer: 14

Explanation:

We know that
\triangle SRV \con \triangle QRV by SAS, so this means
QV=SV by CPCTC. Hence,
4x-1 \longrightarrow x=4.

We also know that
\triangle STR \cong \triangle QTR by SAS, so this means
TS=TQ by CPCTC. Since
TS=3x+2=3(4)+2=14, TQ=14.
