You have the following information:

m∠VUT = 166°

m∠IUT = x + 25

m∠VUI = x + 147

In order to find the measure of m∠IUT, you take into account that:

m∠IUT + m∠VUI = m∠VUT

You replace the algebraic expressions and the constant value of m∠VUT to solve for x the following equation;

(x + 25) + (x + 147) = 166 eliminate parenthesis

x + 25 + x + 147 = 166 simplify similar terms left side

x + x + 25 + 147 = 166

2x + 172 = 166 subtract 72 both sides

2x = 166 - 172

2x = -6 divide by 2 both sides

x = -6/2

x = -3

Next, you repace the previoues value of x into the expression for the measure of the angle ∠IUT:

m∠IUT = x + 25 = -3 + 25 = 22°

Hence, the measure of the angle ∠IUT is m∠IUT = 22°
