Answer: x =116 degrees

y = 88 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:


\begin{gathered} \text{ Find the value of x, y, and z} \\ To\text{ find z} \\ \text{Opposite angles are supplementary in a cyclic quadrilateral} \\ 101\text{ + z = 180} \\ \text{Isolate z} \\ \text{z = 180 - 101} \\ \text{z = 79 degre}es \\ To\text{ find x} \\ 2(101)\text{ = x + 86} \\ 202\text{ = x + 86} \\ \text{Collect the like terms} \\ \text{x = 202 - 86} \\ \text{x = 116 degr}ees \\ \text{ find y} \\ 2z\text{ = y + 70} \\ z=\text{ 79} \\ 2(79)\text{ = y + 70} \\ 158\text{ = y + 70} \\ \text{y = 158 - 70} \\ \text{y = 88 degre}es \end{gathered}

Therefore, x = 116 degrees, y = 88 degrees, and z = 79 degrees
