Answer:

x = 13, y = 26, z = 5

Explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , then

2x + 110 + 44 = 180

2x + 154 = 180 ( subtract 154 from both sides )

2x = 26 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 13

------------------------

2x and y are alternate angles and congruent , so

y = 2x = 2(13) = 26

--------------------------------

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal

3z - 1 = 14 ( add 1 to both sides )

3z = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )

z = 5
