Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

∠WVU is a tangent- tangent angle whose measure is

0.5( major arc WU - minor arc WU), that is

0.5(37x + 5 - (23x - 5) ) = 5x + 17 ← distribute inner parenthesis

0.5(37x + 5 - 23x + 5) = 5x + 17 ← simplify

0.5(14x + 10) = 5x + 17 ← distribute parenthesis

7x + 5 = 5x + 17 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

2x + 5 = 17 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6
