Question

Can someone help me with this thank you

Answer 1

Explanation:

we know that the two angles with x are equal since they are made with the same lines

so

8x+36=5x+51

solve for x

a. subtract 36 from both sides

8x=5x+15

b. subtract 5x on both sides

3x=15

c. divide by 3

x=3

now to find z

we know a line equals 180

so

(8x+36)+z=180

plug in 3

8(3)+36+z=180

24+36+z=180

60+z=180

z=120
