Question

How to find the value of x and z

Answer 1

Answer:

z = 86 °

and, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a straight line is a 180 degree-angle. So, we know that

94 + z must equal 180, because they are the only two angles that make up the straight line.

from this information, (that 94 + z = 180) we can easily find z.

(this is typically an intuitive method of subtracting 94 from 180)

94   +   z   =   180

-94                  -94

z = 86 °

-- we know that the relation between z and (10x + 74) must also be equal to 180, as they make up a straight line

if z = 86, then we can know that (10x + 74) must be equal to

(10x + 74) + 86 =    180

                - 86        -86

(10x + 74) = 94

10x + 74 = 94

      - 74   - 74

  10 x     =    20

÷ 10            ÷ 10

     x    =   2

so, z = 86 °

and, x = 2

(I am assuming that this "unprotected placement assessment" has already taken place, and you would like to understand a question. Or, this is a practice assessment. Because there is no point to cheating on a placement assessment--you will just skip over material you don't know. And, it wouldn't align with Brainly's honor policy. Hope you learn from this!!)
