Answer :

To solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex], let's analyze the given information:

1. [tex]\( W \)[/tex] bisects [tex]\( \angle XWY \)[/tex]. This means that [tex]\( \angle XWW \)[/tex] and [tex]\( \angle VWY \)[/tex] are equal since [tex]\( W \)[/tex] is the bisector of [tex]\( \angle XWY \)[/tex].

2. The measure of [tex]\( \angle XWW \)[/tex] is given as [tex]\( (x + 3) \)[/tex].

3. The measure of [tex]\( \angle VWY \)[/tex] is given as [tex]\( (3x - 91) \)[/tex].

Since [tex]\( W \)[/tex] bisects [tex]\( \angle XWY \)[/tex], we set the two expressions for the angles equal to each other:
[tex]\[ x + 3 = 3x - 91 \][/tex]

Now, solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:

1. Subtract [tex]\( x \)[/tex] from both sides to start isolating [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 3 = 3x - x - 91 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 3 = 2x - 91 \][/tex]

2. Add 91 to both sides to continue isolating [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 3 + 91 = 2x \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 94 = 2x \][/tex]

3. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x = \frac{94}{2} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x = 47 \][/tex]

Thus, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{47} \][/tex]

The correct choice is C.
