Answer:

y=99, z=81

Explanation:

the angle above y is corresponding to 81, so if you substitute 81 in that place then it'll be angles on a straight line;

81 + y =180

(add like terms)

y =180 - 81

=99.

thus, y is 99. Once you do that, y and z are on a straight line so you solve for x using the formula for angles on a straight line;

y + (6z - 87)

(substitute y with 99)

99 + 6z - 87 =180

6z + 12 =180

(add like terms)

6z =180-12

6z =168

(divide both sides by six)

6z /6= 168/6

z = 28

(then you solve everything that was in the bracket for z)

(6z - 87)

(substitute z with 28)

=6 × 28 - 87

=168 - 87

=81

therefore, y =99 and z =81

Answer:

y= 134.5 and z= 44.5 :)

Explanation:

6z-87=180

6z=267

267/6=44.5

180-44.5=134.5
