Answer:

  • x + 75 = 180, as these two angles form a straight angle.
  • x = 180° - 75° = 105°

y and x are supplementary angles as p is transversal of l and m:

  • y + x = 180°
  • y = 180° - x = 180° - 105° = 75°

z is same as 86° as vertical angles:

  • z = 86°

w and z are supplementary angles as g is transversal of l and m:

  • w + z = 180°
  • w = 180° - z = 180° - 86° = 94°
