Hi there!

(z)

We know that the two segments with "z" are congruent, so:

z + 15 = 5z + 9

Solve for z:

15 = 4z + 9

6 = 4z

z = 3/2

(y)

We know that (7y + 6) = 90° (indicated by the square angle), so:

7y + 6 = 90

7y = 84

y = 12°

(x)

Segments (x + 26) and (3x - 8) are congruent, so:

x + 26 = 3x - 8

26 = 2x - 8

34 = 2x

x = 17
