Answer: x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose ray UW divides ∠TUV into two angles ∠ TUW and ∠ WUV.

Then, m∠TUV  = m∠ TUW + m ∠ WUV               (i)

Given,  m∠TUV  = (9x + 1) , m∠ TUW =  (7x-9) and m ∠ WUV = (5x - 11)

Substitute these values in (i), we get

[tex]9x+1=7x-9+5x-11\\\\\Rightarrow\ 9x+1= 7x+5x-9-11\\\\\Rightarrow\ 9x+1=12x-20\\\\\Rightarrow\ 12x-9x= 1+20\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x= 21\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{21}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=7[/tex]

Hence, the value of x = 7.
