Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

We know that shape LMNP is similar to shape QRST.

This means that the side LM is similar to side QR.

The shapes look dilated, so to find the scale factor, we would divide 45 by 27.

(45)/(27) = (5)/(3) , or 1.6^(-) is the dilation factor.

So, to find x, we would divide 25 by
(5)/(3) .

(25)/((5)/(3) ) = 25 * (3)/(5) = 15

X is equal to 15.
