An angle bisector divides an angle in half, therefore:
m∠VUW ≅ m∠WUT
Set the expressions equal to each other:
4x + 6 = 6x - 10
Subtract 4x from both sides:
6 = 2x - 10
Add 10 to both sides:
16 = 2x
Divide 2 from both sides:
x = 8.
Substitute in the value of "x" into the equation for ∠WUT:
6(8) - 10 = 48 - 10 = 38°.
