3x+5=32
3x=27
x=9

X = 2y + 5
(x + 2y + 5) - 10 = 22
(2y + 5 + 2y + 5) = 4y + 10
(4y + 10) - 10 = 22
4y = 22 y = 5.5
x = 2(5.5) + 5 x = 16
x = 16 y = 5.5

Given:

Four lines are marked proportion, the length of TW can be determined by

$TW=a+4+b$

Value of a:

Let us set the proportion for the given lines.

Thus, we have;

$\frac{a}{7}=\frac{4}{5}$

$5a=28$

$a=5.6$

Thus, the value of a is 5.6

Value of b:

Let us set the proportion for the given lines.

Thus, we have;

$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{b}{5}$

$20=5b$

$4=b$

Thus, the value of b is 5.

Length of TW:

The length of TW is given by

$TW=5.6+4+4$

$TW=13.6$

Thus, the length of TW is 13.6
