Answer:

x = 10

Explanation:

With UW extended to point X, then

∠VWX is an external angle of the triangle.

The external angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the 2 opposite interior angles, that is

∠VWX = ∠WUV + ∠UVX ← substitute values

6x - 19 = 3x + 3 + x - 2, that is

6x - 19 = 4x + 1 (subtract 4x from both sides )

2x - 19 = 1 ( add 19 to both sides )

2x = 20 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 10
