answer

59

Step-by-step explanation

the total degrees in a circle is 360

so going counterclockwise, arc WX + arc XY + arc WY = 360

86 + 156 + WY = 360

WY = 360 - 86 - 156

WY = 118

WY is equal to the center angle, and the inscribed angle WXY is half of the center angle

WXY = WY/2

WXY = 118/2

WXY = 59
