Boolean algebra question

So, we have this problem:

w`xy + wxz +wy`z + w`z`

We are supposed to simplify using only the consensus theorem:

xy + yz +x`z= xy + x`z

Now, We cannot find any way to use the consensus theorem on this problem.
We can't use wy` and w`y as x in the theorem because when the y and z terms are multiplied together you get xz, which almost appears but is wxz and have become absolutely stumped. There are several possibilities of course, but most don't have the yz term appear in the problem.

We've tried multiplying some of the terms by other terms that = 1, but haven't come up with anything yet.
Any hlep is appreciated, thanks.
