Transcribed Image Text:**Question 4**
Given the figure below, find the values of \( x \) and \( z \).
*Diagram Description:*
The diagram shows two intersecting lines, forming two pairs of vertically opposite angles.
- One angle is labeled as \((10x + 3)^\circ\).
- The vertically opposite angle is labeled as \((5x + 53)^\circ\).
- An adjacent angle is labeled as \(z^\circ\).
The task is to determine the values of \( x \) and \( z \) using properties of vertical and supplementary angles.
The basic mathematical principles to apply are:
1. Vertically opposite angles are equal.
2. The sum of angles forming a straight line is \(180^\circ\).
Use these properties to set up equations that can be solved to find \( x \) and \( z \).
