We're the anti-meme community where the joke is that there isn't one, and by explaining that, we've ruined the whole thing, but we all find the collective misery hilarious.
The music of comedy is more important than the joke itself.
Follow the instance rules please, this is a lovely instance.

That one is quite simple. On the sketch, you get
w+x+y+z=360º
Making the substitution with x+y=w+z, you get
w+w+z+z=360º <=> 2(w+z)=360º <=> w+z=180º
Proving AOB is a line, because the sketch provides, that w+z is an angle of AOB.
I am pretty sure, you were not asking for the proof, but I wanted to do it anyways. Does a genuine proof count as an anti meme?
how do you know that x+y=w+z? isn't that already assuming that they are equal? what if they're one degree off?
As the teacher would tell you: read the entire problem before answering! (It says so in the problem)
dammit nothing changes 😂
Because we read the question: if x+y=w+z, prove...
The problem asks us to make this assumption.
