Answer:
39°
Step-by-step explanation:
At the section the angles are connected, meaning that the angle across from w is the same as w and same applied to x. To find y, you first need to find w, to find the 2nd angle of the triangle of the right.
To do this, you need to add up 42 + 85.
(All triangles angles = 180)
42+85=127
subtract this from 180 to find angle w
180 - 127 = 53
53 = Angle w, which is the same as the angle across from angle w (second angle).
Second, take 53 + 88 = 141
Subtract this from 180
180-141 = 39.
39 is y°
or
y° = 39
