Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

no need to panic !

it is actually totally easy.

we have the complete, big angle at U (imagine you turn VU around U into UT) = 178 degrees.

VT is almost a straight line (then that angle would be 180 degrees). but only almost ...

anyway, the other 2 angles are just parts of the big angle, and we see that together they sum up to the big angle, as there is no other space for a part of the big angle left.

so

(14x - 11) + (12x + 7) = 178

14x - 11 + 12x + 7 = 178

26x - 4 = 178

26x = 182

x = 7
