Explanation:

To make the equation AFGHACBD true, the value of y must be 7, and the value of z must be 32-1=31.

Here is how the equation works out:

2z + 14 = 2 * 31 + 14 = 68

2y + 35 = 2 * 7 + 35 = 49

68 + 2 = 70

70 > 49

49 + 7y = 49 + 7 * 7 = 98

98 > 70

70 + 32 - 1 = 70 + 31 = 101

101 > 98

98 + 2y + 35 = 98 + 2 * 7 + 35 = 146

146 > 101

So, the values of y and z that make the equation AFGHACBD true are y=7 and z=31.
