.

Angles Q and I are opposite in the parallelogram, so they are congruent.

Therefore, you write an equation

2x + 5 = 4x - 55.

You solve this equation and find x.

After that you find angle's Q measure using the formula Q = 2x+5.

After that you find the measure of the angle U as the supplementary angle to angle Q.
