Answer:
\angle STU=34^(\circ), \angle TVW=116^(\circ)

Explanation:

By the alternate interior angles theorem,


3x+4=2x+14\\\\x+4=14\\\\x=10\\\\\implies \angle STU=3(10)+4=\boxed{34^(\circ)}

By the alternate interior angles theorem,
\angle UTV=82^(\circ), and we also know that
\angle TUV=34^(\circ).

Thus, by the exterior angle theorem,


\angle TVW=82+34=\boxed{116^(\circ)}
