Answer:

m∠XYZ = 162°

Explanation:

We can see that ∠XYZ is an exterior angle while ∠W and ∠X are the opposite interior angles.

We know that the exterior angle of triangle is equal to the sum of opposite interior angles

Given

m∠XYZ = (15x-18)°

m∠W = (5x+2)°

m∠X = (8x+4)°

Mathematically it can be written as:

m∠X+m∠W = m∠XYZ


8x+4+5x+2 = 15x-18\\13x+6 = 15x-18\\13x-15x = -18-6\\-2x = -24\\(-2x)/(-2) = (-24)/(-2)\\x = 12

Putting x=12 in m∠XYZ


15x-18\\=15(12)-18\\=180-18=162

Hence,

m∠XYZ = 162°
