Analysis Use that sum of four interior angles of quadrilateral is 360.
Solution/Hint W and Z are not related to x and y so that u can make a mistake easily. use that sum of four interior angles of quadrilateral is 360. (180-x)+(180-y)+(180-z)+(180-w)=360 x+y+z+w=360 Therefore, we can get the value x+y from both conditions. Discussion: what if asking x-y?
