Answer:

163

Explanation:

What's great about these problems is that when there is a line that is divided by another line, causing 2 angles, the 2 angles must equal 180 degrees. That means the 163-degree angle + either the x or the z angle would equal 180 degrees. The second best part about this is that if it is separated how yours is, with 2 lines, opposite angles are equal. That means that angle x and angle z are equal, as well as the 163 angle is equal to the y angle. Hope this helps with more than just this problem!
