Explanation:

the inner WU arc angle is 23x - 5.

the outer WU arc angle is 37x + 5.

together they must be 360°, as this is the full circle.

so, we have

360 = 23x - 5 + 37x + 5 = 60x

x = 6

therefore, the angle at V is

V = 5x + 17 = 5×6 + 17 = 30 + 17 = 47°

inner WU arc angle = 23x - 5 = 133°

outer WU arc angle = 37x + 5 = 227°

this also fits with

V = (outer arc angle - inner arc angle)/2 =

= (227 - 133)/2 = 94/2 = 47°
