Final answer:

The gamma-ray energies from the decay of 198Au to states in 198Hg can be determined by subtracting the initial energy of the decayed Au nucleus from the final energy of the Hg nucleus.

Step-by-step explanation:

The gamma-ray energies from the decay of 198Au to states in 198Hg can be determined by subtracting the initial energy of the decayed Au nucleus from the final energy of the Hg nucleus. The difference in energy corresponds to the energy of the emitted gamma ray.

Unfortunately, the specific values of x, y, and z are not provided in the question. The question only mentions the options 1) x keV, 2) y keV, and 3) z keV. To answer the question accurately, the specific values of x, y, and z need to be provided.

If you have the specific values of x, y, and z, please provide them so I can help you further.
