Answer:

Angle zxy = 55 degrees, x = 12

Explanation:

Since the angle WXY is labeled as a right angle from the square in the angle, and angle WXZ is 35 degrees, we know that angle ZXY must be 55 degrees, because 55+35 = 90. Then to solve for x, we use the measure of angle ZXY to construct the equation 4x+7 = 55. subtract 7 from both sides to get 4x = 48, then divide both sides by 4 to arrive at the answer of x = 12.
