Question

Given the figure below, find the values of x and z.

Answer 1

x=6 and z=107

Explanation:

From the figure or diagram we can say that

z+15x-17=180 ---(1)

z+11x+7=180 ---(2)

Subtracting (1) and (2)

z+15x-17-(z+11x+7)=180-180

4x-24=0

4x=24

x=6

Substitute x=6 in (2)

z+11(6)+7=180

z+66+7=180

z=180-73

z=107
