Answer: x = 20

Step-by-step explanation: We can use the Segment Addition Postulate.

If N is between M and P, then MN + NP = MP.

So we have 2x + 7 + 13 = 3x.

Solving from here, first simplify the left side to get 2x + 20 = 3x.

Now subtract 2x from both sides ti get 20 = x.

So the value of x is 20.
