Answer:

x = 10 m(UXV)=46°

Explanation:

m(UXV) + m(UXW) = 90° because m(VXY)= 90°

m(UXW) = 44°

m(UXV) + 44° = 90°

m(UXV) = 46°

5x - 4 = 46°

5x = 50

5x/5 = 50/5

x = 10

Hope this helps ^-^

Answer:

see below (I hope this helps!)

Explanation:

∠VZY and ∠VXW form a linear pair and are supplementary, and since m∠VZY = 90°, m∠VXW = 180 - 90 = 90°. Since m∠WXU + m∠UXV = ∠VXW, we can write the following equation:

44 + 5x - 4 = 90

5x + 40 = 90

5x = 50

x = 10°

Therefore, m∠UXV = 5 * 10 - 4 = 46°
