Problem 34

\(\angle X^{\prime} Y Z^{\prime}\) is the image of \(\angle X Y Z\) following a \(100^{\circ}\) counterclockwise rotation of \(\angle X Y Z\) about point \(Y\). If \(\mathrm{m} \angle X Y Z=\frac{5 x}{6}\) and \(\mathrm{m} \angle X^{\prime} Y Z^{\prime}=130^{\circ},\) find \(x\)

Problem 35
