Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{DC}{DU}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{CB}{UT}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{11x-13}{60}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{169}{78}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

78(11x - 13) = 10140 ( divide both sides by 78 )

11x - 13 = 130 ( add 13 to both sides )

11x = 143 ( divide both sides by 11 )

x = 13
