Answer:
x = 36 , y = 64 , z = 80
Step-by-step explanation:
Exterior angle equals the sum of opposite interior angle.
3x + 8 = x + z
3x - x - z = -8
2x - z = -8 ------------ (I)
z + 3x - 8 = 180 {linear pair}
3x + z = 180 + 8
3x + z = 188 --------------(II)
Add (I) and (II) and z will be eliminated and we can find the value of 'x'
(I) 2x - z = -8
(II) <u> 3x + z = 188</u> {Now add}
5x = 180
x = 180/5
x = 36
Plugin x = 36 in equation (II)
3*36 +z = 188
108 + z = 188
z = 188- 108
z = 80
x + y + z = 180 ----------------(III) {angle sum property of triangle}
36 + 80 +y = 180
116 + y = 180
y = 180 - 116
y = 64
