Answer:
∠ WUV = 36°
Step-by-step explanation:
The exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles.
∠ VWX is an exterior angle of the triangle, thus
8x - 18 = 2x + 8 + 3x + 16
8x - 18 = 5x + 24 ( subtract 5x from both sides )
3x - 18 = 24 ( add 18 to both sides )
3x = 42 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 14
Thus
∠ WUV = 2x + 8 = 2(14) + 8 = 28 + 8 = 36°
