Answer: XYW = 32, WYZ = 85
Step-by-step explanation:
We are looking for what x is, which we can find with the formula:
117 = (6x+44) + (-10x+65)
117 = -4x + 109
8 = -4x
x = -2
We can verify this is correct by plugging it in and seeing if they add up to 117.
6x + 44 (XYW)
= 6(-2) + 44
= -12 + 44
= 32
-10x + 65 (WYZ)
= -10(-2) + 65
= 20 + 65
= 85
32 + 85 = 117
