Given:

[tex]m\angle WXZ=109^\circ[/tex]

m∠2 is 19° more than m∠1.

To find:

The value of m∠1.

Solution:

Let the measure of ∠1 be x.

Then, [tex]m\angle 2=x+19^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle WXZ=109^\circ[/tex], it means the sum of m∠1 and m∠2 is 109°.

[tex]m\angle 1+m\angle 2=109^\circ[/tex]

[tex]x+(x+19^\circ)=109^\circ[/tex]

[tex]2x+19^\circ=109^\circ[/tex]

[tex]2x=109^\circ-19^\circ[/tex]

[tex]2x=90^\circ[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]x=\dfrac{90^\circ}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=45^\circ[/tex]

Therefore, the value of m∠1 is 45°.
