Supplementary angles have sum 180°


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 5w+1+90+7w-7=180


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 12w+84=180


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 12w=96


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow w=8

so they’re supplementary angles which means that they add up to 180°… The equation would be: 5w+1+7w-7=180

5w+1+7w-7=180 (combine like terms)
12w-6=180
+6 +6
12w=186
w=15.5

Im not sure what they’re asking for but if they’re asking for w, your answer is 15.5, if they’re asking for the angle measure on the left, your answer is 78.5° & if they’re asking for the angle measure on the right, your answer is 101.5° :) hope this helps
