Answer:

z= 91°

x=5

Explanation:

z is the vertical angle to 91°. Vertical angles are always congruent which means they are equal.

Now to solve for x you do


180=91 + (13x+24)

a straight line is always 180 so both angles added together would give you 180.

Then you would subtract 91 from both sides of the equation to get the equation


89=13x + 24

Then you subtract 24 from each side to get the equation


65 = 13x

Then divided both sides to get your final answer of


5=x or
x=5

Answer: x=5 z=115

Explanation:

First, subtract 91 from 180(which is the amount of degrees on the line)

Secondly, subtract 24 from 89(which is the amount of degrees on the x portion

Next, divide 65 (the amount of angles missing after subtracting 24)

Lastly, add 65(for the perpendicular value), then find the difference between 180 and 65 to get to the value of z.
