From what I understand, we need to find x, y, and z.

We can easily find x by knowing a triangle has 180°.

Add 72+86=158 and then subtract 180-158 which gets you 22.

Now we have x=22°.

To find y, we first must find z. We can find z using the vertical angles theorem. This means x and z and the same, so z=22°.

Now, we can now find y by adding 70 and 22 = 92.

Subtract 180-92=88°.

All values have been found!

x=22°

y=88°

z=22°
