Answer:

x = 11

z = 99

Explanation:

Vertically opposite angles are congruent.


\boxed{\bf z = 99^\circ}

99 + (10x - 29) = 180 {Linear pair}

99 + 10x - 29 = 180

10x + 70 = 180

Subtract 70 from both sides,

10x = 180 - 70

10x = 110

Divide both sides by 10

x = 110 ÷ 10


\sf \boxed{\bf x = 11^\circ}
