Since angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees, we can set up the equation:
m∠WUV + m∠UVW + m∠VWX = 180 degrees
Substituting the given values, we have:
(2x + 15) + (2x + 15) + (8x - 14) = 180
Combining like terms, we get:
12x + 16 = 180
Subtracting 16 from both sides, we have:
12x = 164
Dividing by 12, we find:
x = 13.67
Therefore, m∠WUV = 2x + 15 = 2(13.67) + 15 = 42.34 degrees.
