Answer: 28

==========================================

Explanation:

Angle UOT is vertical to the angle x. This angle combines with 4x and 40 to get a straight angle of 180 degrees

(angle POU) + (angle UOT) + (angle TOS) = 180

4x + x + 40 = 180

5x + 40 = 180

5x = 180-40

5x = 140

x = 140/5

x = 28

Side note: if x = 28, then 4x = 4*28 = 112.

We see that 112+28+40 = 180, which is the sum of the three angles mentioned earlier. Since we got 180, this confirms the answer.
