Answer: m∠ TUW = 38°
m∠WUV = 12°
m∠TUV = 103°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: m∠ TUW = (5x + 3)°, m∠WUV=(10x-5)°, and m∠TUV=(17x-16)°
Since, m∠TUV = m∠ TUW + m∠WUV
So, 17X-16 = (5x + 3) + (10x-5)
⇒ 17X-16 = 5x + 3 + 10x-5 [open parenthesis]
⇒ 17X-16 =5x + 10x +3 -5 [combine like trems]
⇒ 17X-16 =15x -2
⇒ 17X -15x = -2+16 [subtract 15x and add 16 on both sides]
⇒ 2x = 14
⇒ x= 7 [divide both sides by 2]
Now, m∠ TUW = (5(7) + 3)°= 38°
m∠WUV=(10(7)-5)° = 12°
m∠TUV=(17(7)-16)° = 103°
Hence, m∠ TUW = 38°
m∠WUV = 12°
m∠TUV = 103°
