Consider the Incenter Theorem.
NW=26
We are told that N is the incenter of the triangle. This means that it is the point of concurrency of the angle bisectors.
According to the Incenter Theorem, the incenter of a triangle is equidistant from its sides. Therefore, NZ, NY, and NW have equal lengths.
Finally, we can calculate the lengths of any of the segments by substituting the value of x into either of the given expressions. NZ:& 4( 9)-10 =26 NY:& 3( 9)-1 =26 Because both of these segments have a length of 26, we know NW does as well.
