Answer:

9

Explanation:

Hey There!

If you didnt know the given angles in the triangle added together equal the missing triangles supplement aka z+50

So all we have to do is set up an equation

z+50=30+6x-45

step 1 combine like terms

30-45=-15

now we have

z+30=6x-15

step 2 add 15 to each side

-15+15 cancels out

30=15=45

now we have

z+45=6z

step 3 subtract z from each side

z-z cancels out

6z-z=5z

now we have

45=5z

step 4 divide each side by 5

5/5 cancels out

45/5=9

z=5

so we can conclude that z=9

hope this helps :)
