Answer:

w = 73°

Explanation:

The relations involved in solving this figure are ...

  • linear pairs are supplementary
  • the angle sum for the quadrilateral is 360°

__

The linear pair at lower left gives us a relation we can solve for x:

x +(3x -24) = 180

4x = 204

x = 51

Then the sum of angles inside the quadrilateral is ...

w +(x +15) +(2x -10) +(3x -24) = 360

w +(51 +15) +(2(51) -10) +(3(51) -24) = 360

w +66 +92 +129 = 360

w = 360 -287 = 73

Angle W is 73°.

Additional comment

The remaining angles are supplementary to those inside the quadrilateral:

v = 180° -w = 107°

y = 180° -92° = 88°

z = 180° -66° = 114°

x = 51°
