Answer

UW = 10

Step-by-step explanation

From the image attached, we can see that

UV + VW = UW

But

UV = 2x + 3

VW = 7

UW = x + 10

UV + VW = UW

(2x + 3) + 7 = x + 10

2x + 3 + 7 = x + 10

2x + 10 = x + 10

2x - x = 10 - 10

x = 0

UW = UV + VW

UW = 2x + 3 + 7

UW = 2 (0) + 10

UW = 0 + 10

UW = 10

Hope this Helps!!!
