Explanation

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

[tex]7x+2=3x+10[/tex]

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

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

Then we can divide both sides by 4:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{8}{4} \\ x=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then the length of VU is given by:

[tex]3x+10=3*2+10=16[/tex]Answer

Then the answer is 16.
