Answer:

x = 2

z = 111°

Explanation:

Angles having measures (7x + 55)° and (14x + 41)° are the vertically opposite angles.

Therefore, both the angles will measure the same.

(7x + 55) = (14x + 41)

7x - 14x = 41 - 55

-7x = -14

x = 2

Measure of angle (7x + 55)° = 7(2) + 55

= 14 + 55

= 69°

Since, angles measuring 69° and z° are the linear pair of angles,

69° + z° = 180°

z = 180 - 69

z = 111°
