Answer: Choice A) 143 degrees

To get this answer quickly, you subtract the given angle (37) from 180 to get 180-37 = 143

The more longer answer would look something like this
x+37 = 180 .... the two supplementary angles add to 180 degrees
x+37-37 = 180-37 .... subtract 37 from both sides
x+0 = 143
x = 143
where x is the measure of angle ZXW
