Answer:

x = 7

z = 119

Explanation:

Because of vertical angles 8x + 5 = 61

8x + 5 = 61

* subtract 5 from each side *

5 - 5 cancels out

61 - 5 = 56

8x = 56

* divide each side by 8 *

8x / 8 = x

56 / 8 = 7

x = 7

Because of supplementary angles z + 61 = 180

z + 61 = 180

* subtract 61 from each side *

61 - 61 cancels out

180 - 61 = 119

z = 119
