Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

∠ YXW = ∠ ZXV ( vertically opposite angles ) , so

4a + 15 = 2a + 65 ( subtract 2a from both sides )

2a + 15 = 65 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

2a = 50 ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 25

Then

(7)

∠ ZXV = 2a + 65 = 2(25) + 65 = 50 + 65 = 115°

(8)

∠ YXW = ∠ ZXV = 115°

∠ ZXY and ∠ ZXV are adjacent angles and sum to 180° , that is

(9)

∠ ZXY = 180° - 115° = 65°

(10)

∠ VXW = ∠ ZXY = 65° ( vertically opposite angles
