Answer:

x=9

z=73

Explanation:

Angle 107 and 8x+35 are vertical angles, so they are equal

107 = 8x+35

Subtract 35 from each side

107-35 = 8x+35

72 = 8x

Divide by 8

72/8 = 8x/8

9 =x

We also know that 107 and z are supplementary angles since they form a straight line. This means they add to 180 degrees

107+z = 180

Subtract 107 from each side

107-107+z=180-107

z =73
