Question

Given the figure below, find the value of x and z.

Answer 1

x=10
z=106
EXPLAINED:
To get x you would need to set the equation like this (10x-26)=74 (since 74 and the equation with the variable are parallel), then solve normally for x.

To get z you would have to know that the straight line through it equals 180 degrees so you would simply subtract 74 for 180 and there you have it you have the value of z.

Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

x=10, z=106

Explanation:

vertical angles: 10x-26=74

10x=100

x=10

supplementary angles: 74+z=180

z=106
