Question 934375: In the figure below XZ is parallel to YZ. Find the measure of angle XYZ and the measure of angle ZYX.
I don't know if BBCode is here so I made a sketch of the problem in a Google Document. Here is the picture: http://imgur.com/QLcZH7T
I set it up as so:
3n-7+n = 180
4n = 187
n = 46.75
I don't think this is right because on my whole paper, which is 25 questions, this is the only answer that came out to be a decimal and I highly doubt it's right so I came here for help.
Thank you if you can help.
If BBCode is allowed:

You wrote "In the figure below XZ is parallel to YZ", but you have this figure

where XZ and YZ both meet at point Z, so there's no way "XZ is parallel to YZ" is true. There's a contradiction here.
