Answer:

Explanation:

Let angle A = w - 15 degree , angle B = -w + 1 degree and angle X = w + 34 degrees then:

We know that the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two interior opposite angles.

therefore, w + 34 = w - 15 + (-w +1)

w + 34 = w - 15 - w + 1

w = -15 - 34 = - 49 degrees

since angle cannot be negative

therefore w = 49 degrees
