In general,


Inscribed\text{ angle}=(1)/(2)\text{ Intercepted Arc}

In our case, notice that both
\begin{gathered} \angle y=\angle w=(1)/(2)*108\degree=54\degree \\ \Rightarrow\angle y=\angle w=54\degree \end{gathered}Similarly,
\begin{gathered} \angle x=\angle z=(1)/(2)*40\degree=20\degree \\ \Rightarrow\angle x=\angle z=20\degree \end{gathered}Thus, the answer is x=20
