Solution

∠NEM + ∠NET = 180°   ...(Linear angle property)

⇒ y + 100° = 180°       

⇒ y = 80°

Also, ∠NME + ∠EMR = 180°  ...(Linear angle property)

⇒ z + 140° = 180°       

⇒ z = 40°

Now, In △NEM

∠N + ∠E + ∠M = 180°   ...(Angle sum property)

⇒ x + y + z = 180°         

⇒ x + 80° + 40° = 180°  

⇒ x + 120° = 180° 

⇒ x = 60°  

Hence, the values of x, y and z are 60°, 80° and 40° respectively.
