Answer: x = 27

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

Work Shown:

Angle XWY = 180 - 6x

Angle XYW = 180 - 4x

The two angles are complementary (since they are the acute angles in a right triangle), meaning they add to 90 degrees

(180 - 6x) + (180 - 4x) = 90

(180 + 180) + (-6x - 4x) = 90

360 - 10x = 90

-10x =90 - 360 ... subtract 360 from both sides

-10x = -270

x = -270/(-10) .... divide both sides by -10

x = 27
