Verified Answer :

for finding z, (2z+43)° = (−10z+25)° 
2z+43= −10z+25   2z+10z= 25 - 43, 12z= -18,  z=-18/12= -3/2

Answer:

Vertical angle are those angles which are opposite to each other and are equal.

As per the statement:

A pair of vertical angles have measures (2z+43)° and (−10z+25)°

By definition we have;

\(2z+43 = -10z+25\)

Add 10z to both sides we get;

\(12z+43 = 25\)

Subtract 43 from both sides we get;

\(12z+43-43= 25-43\)

Simplify:

\(12z= -18\)

Divide both sides by 12 we get;

z = -1.5

therefore, the value of z is -1.5
