Step-by-step explanation:

15. x = 148°, z = 32°

In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary, so must add to 180°. That also means opposite angles are congruent.

___

17. x = 8, y = -3

The diagonals bisect each other, so ...

2x -4 = 12

x = (12 +4)/2 = 8

and ...

y +10 = 7

y = 7 -10 = -3

__

21. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, so their point of intersection is their midpoint. The midpoint of WY can be computed as ...

P = (W+Y)/2 = ((-3, 5) +(3, 1))/2 = (0, 6)/2 = (0, 3)

The diagonals intersect at (0, 3).
