Answer:

A: ∠WXZ = 87°; ∠ZXY = 73°

Explanation:

Ray XZ divides the angle WXY into parts that have a sum equal to the whole.

(7x-4)° +(5x+8)° = 160° . . . . . whole is sum of parts

12x = 156 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 4

x = 13 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 12

∠WXZ = (7x -4)° = (7·13 -4)° = (91 -4)° = 87° . . . . . matches choice A
