Answer:

m∠W = m∠S = 126°

m∠E = m∠T = 54°

x = 24

y = 8

Explanation:

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent, so we have ...

∠E = ∠T

3x -18 = 2x +6

x = 24 . . . . . . . . . add 18-2x

Then the measure of these angles (in degrees) is ...

∠E = ∠T = 2x+6 = 2(24) +6 = 54

__

The adjacent angle W is supplementary to either of these:

∠W = 180° -∠E

15y +6 = 180 -54

15y = 120

y = 8

∠W = ∠S = 126°
