variable (x).
answer: round to whatever you
see in the problem.
ok

Explanation:

Step1: Use the property of parallelograms

In a parallelogram, consecutive angles are supplementary. So, $\angle W+\angle X = 180^{\circ}$.

Step2: Set up the equation

We know that $\angle W = 72^{\circ}$ and $\angle X=37x - 3$. Then $72+(37x - 3)=180$.

Step3: Simplify the equation

First, simplify the left - hand side: $37x+69 = 180$.

Step4: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract $69$ from both sides: $37x=180 - 69=111$. Then divide both sides by $37$: $x=\frac{111}{37}=3$.

Answer:

$3$
