Final answer:

To solve for x, we need more information. To solve for z, knowing that z and the 64-degree angle are complementary, we can use the equation x + y = 90 and solve for z.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, we need given information about x explicitly mentioned in the question. Without that, it is not possible to write an equation to solve for x.

To solve for z, knowing that z and the 64-degree angle are complementary, we can use the equation x + y = 90, where x and y are the measures of complementary angles. In this case, x is the measure of the 64-degree angle, so the equation becomes 64 + z = 90. We can rearrange this equation to solve for z by subtracting 64 from both sides: z = 90 - 64. Thus, the equation to solve for z is z = 26.
