Answer:
44
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of u, combined with the angle directly next to it (with the measurement of 29°), is a vertical angle to the opposite given angle (73°).
Note that, by the definition of vertical angles, angles directly next and opposite of each other have the same measurement. Set the equation:
u + 29 = 73
Isolate the variable, u. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 29 from both sides:
u + 29 (-29) = 73 (-29)
u = 73 - 29
u = 44
44° is your answer for u.
