Answer:

27

Explanation:

Note that since VX and XZ are both line segments, <VWX and <XYZ both equal 180 (also known as a straight angle). Also, note that the sum of the angles in a triangle are 180 degrees. Now, let’s start.

Finding angles of the triangle:

<WYX = <XYZ - <WYZ = 180 - 4x

<XWY = <XWV - <VWY = 180 - 6x

Using the sum of angles in a triangle and substituting these values in:

180 = <X + <WYX + <XWY = 90 + (180 - 4x) + (180-6x) = 450 - 10x

270 = 10x

27 = x

We are done! I hope this helps! :)
