Answer:


m\angle XYV=135^(\circ)

Explanation:

Notice that
m\angle XYV=m\angle XYW+m\angle VYW.

The diagram already marks
m\angle VYW=80^(\circ), so we just need to find
m\angle XYW.


\angle TYU and
\angle XYW are vertical angles, which means they are equal in measure.

Therefore,


m\angle TYU=m\angle XYW=6x+7

Since there are
180^(\circ) on each side of a line, we have the following equation:


m\angle XYW+m\angle VYW+m\angle UYV=180^(\circ),\\6x+7+13+4x+80=180,\\10x+20=100,\\10x=80,\\x=8.

Plugging in
x=8, we have:


m\angle XYW=6(8)+7=55^(\circ).

Therefore,


m\angle XYV=55^(\circ)+80^(\circ),\\m\angle XYV=\fbox{$135^(\circ)$}.
