Based on the provided image, the lines PQ and RS are parallel. We are given three angles: $x$ at point $Q$, $y$ at point $R$, and $z$ at the point between $Q$ and $R$. We need to find a relationship between $x$, $y$, and $z$.

1. Problem Description

Based on the provided image, the lines PQ and RS are parallel. We are given three angles: xx at point QQ, yy at point RR, and zz at the point between QQ and RR. We need to find a relationship between xx, yy, and zz.

2. Solution Steps

Since line PQ is parallel to line RS, we can draw a line through the vertex of angle zz such that this line is parallel to PQ and RS. Let us call the angles formed as a result of drawing the parallel line as aa and bb, where aa is between the line QR and the newly drawn parallel line, and bb is between the line RQ and the newly drawn parallel line. Then, a+b=za + b = z.
Since PQ and the new line are parallel, xx and aa are alternate interior angles, so x=ax = a.
Since RS and the new line are parallel, yy and bb are alternate interior angles, so y=by = b.
Therefore, z=a+b=x+yz = a + b = x + y.

3. Final Answer

z=x+yz = x + y
