It is given that the queadrilateral WXYZ is a parallelogram.

By the property of parallelogram the opposite sides are equal length so it follows:

$\begin{gathered} 6a+10=8a-4 \\ 8a-6a=10+4 \\ 2a=14 \\ a=7 \end{gathered}$

Hence the value of a is 7.

The length WX is given by:

Hence a=7 units and WX=52 units.
