Explanation:

Hello,

Firstly just look to triangle BDE,

Here, you will find that,

140° = y+80° {the exterior and opposite interior angle of a triangle is equal}.

or, y= 140°-80° {shifting 80° to another side and subtracting it.}

Therefore, the value of y is 60°.

now, let's simply work with line EB or EG. we get;

angle GEF + y=180° { being a linear pair}.

or, angle GEF + 60°= 180°

or, angle GEF = 180°-60°

Therefore, the value of angle GEF = 120°.

now, looking in triangle EFG, we get;

angle GEF + 35°+x= 180° { the sum of interior angle of a triangle is 180°}.

or, 120°+35°+ x= 180°

or, x= 180°- 155°

Therefore, the value of x is 25°.

now, lastly finding the value of "z"

We find that x= z {being vertical opposite angle}

or, z =25°

Therefore, the value of z is 25°.

So, the values are,

x=25°

y=60°

and z= 25°

Hope it helps...
