Answer

Angle XYW = 32°

Angle WYZ = 85°

Step-by-step explanation

We've been told that

Angle XYZ = 117°

We've also been given that

Angle XYW = (6x + 44)°

Angle WYZ = (-10x + 65)°

But, from the figure in the attached image, we can see that

Angle XYW + Angle WYZ = Angle XYZ

(6x + 44)° + (-10x + 65)° = 117°

6x - 10x + 44° + 65° = 117°

-4x + 109° = 117°

-4x = 117° - 109°

-4x = 8°

Divide both sides by -4

(-4x/-4) = (8°/-4)

x = -2°

We can then go further and solve for the required angles now

Angle XYW = (6x + 44)°

= 6(-2°) + 44°

= -12° + 44°

= 32°

Angle WYZ = (-10x + 65)°

= -10(-2°) + 65°

= 20° + 65°

= 85°

Hope this Helps!!!
