Step-by-step explanation

The picture tells us that sides OV and VU have the same length. With this information we can construct an equation for x:


7x+2=3x+10

Let's substract 3x and 2 from both sides of this equation:


\begin{gathered} 7x+2-3x-2=3x+10-3x-2 \\ 4x=8 \end{gathered}

Then we can divide both sides by 4:


\begin{gathered} (4x)/(4)=(8)/(4) \\ x=2 \end{gathered}

Then the length of VU is given by:


3x+10=3*2+10=16Answer

Then the answer is 16.
