properties of parallelograms
solve for the unknown variable (x).
answer: round to whatever you see in the problem.
ok

Explanation:

Step1: Use property of parallelogram

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

Step2: Set up equation

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

Step3: Simplify equation

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

Step4: Solve for \(x\)

Subtract \(69\) from both sides: \(37x=180 - 69\), so \(37x = 111\). Then \(x=\frac{111}{37}=3\).

Answer:

$3$
