Given in the figure below, find the values of X and Z.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

Geometry

The angles shown represented by the expressions (11x + 5) and (5x+59) are vertical angles

Vertical angles are congruent so we can use this equation to solve for x

Basic Algebra

11x + 5 = 5x + 59

step 1 subtract 5x from each side

5x - 5x cancels out

11x - 5x = 6x

now we have 6x + 5 = 59

step 2 subtract each side by 5

5 - 5 cancels out

59 - 5 = 54

now we have 54 = 6x

step 3 divide each side by 6

6x/6=x

54/6=9

we're left with x = 9

now we want to plug in 9 into x for one of the expression

11(9) +  5

11 * 9 = 99

99 + 5 = 104

so we can conclude that the measure of the angle labeled ( 11x + 5 ) is 104 degrees

Now we need to find z

Geometry

The angle with a measure of 104 and angle Z are supplementary angles meaning that the sum of the two is 180

So to find z we subtract the known angle (104) from 180

180 - 104 = 76

so we can conclude that z = 76

question: how many people can she serve?

answer: she can serve 16.66666667 people. so she can only give 16 people a complete serving.

question: does she have enough ice cream for her guests?

answer: no. explanation: she only has enough for 16 people to have a full serving. however, she can give a 17th person a partial serving.
