A) 3x (you substitute the g equation into the f one by putting it in the x value for f)
b) x (do the same thing, but switch the letters)

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You know the linear pair z° and 105° are supplementary angles, so ...
z = 180 -105 = 75
The other base angle of the isosceles triangle has the same measure, 75°. __
Then x can be found either from the sum of interior angles of the triangle, or from the relation of 105° to the "remote interior angles". The first relation gives ...
75° +75° +x° = 180° ⇒ x = 180 -150 = 30
The second relation gives ...
75° +x° = 105° ⇒ x = 105 -75 = 30
__
y° is supplementary to the left-side base angle, so is ...
y = 180 -75 = 105
Of course, you could also figure y from the symmetry of the figure.
The values of x, y, z are 30, 105, 75, respectively.
