Answer:

m∠KVW = 30°

Explanation:

The angle sum theorem tells you ...

∠UVK + ∠KVW = ∠UVW

Subsituting the given measures, you have ...

(x +103) + (x +33) = 130

2x + 136 = 130 . . . . simplify

2x = -6 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 136

x = -3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

So the measure of the angle of interest is ...

∠KVW = x +33 = -3 +33

∠KVW = 30°

_____

We have to assume that all numerical values are degrees.
