1. Problem Description

We are given a diagram with two lines and angles labeled xx, yy, and zz. The line segment PQPQ is parallel to the line segment RSRS. We need to find the relation between angles x,y,x, y, and zz.

2. Solution Steps

Let the line segment that connects points QQ and RR be QRQR.
Since PQPQ is parallel to RSRS, the alternate interior angles formed by the transversal QRQR are equal.
Let the angle between QRQR and the line segment PQPQ be xx. The alternate interior angle, i.e., the angle between QRQR and RSRS, must be equal to xx. Thus, the angle between QRQR and RSRS is also xx.
In the triangle QRZQRZ, the sum of the angles is 180180 degrees. The angles are x,y,x,y, and zz where the angle xx refers to the angle between QRQR and RSRS.
Consider the angle xx. This angle can be written as the sum of two smaller angles. The angles are yy and the interior angle of the triangle QRZQRZ at vertex RR. Thus, the angle between line segment QRQR and RSRS is xx. This implies that y+z=xy+z = x.
Therefore, x=y+zx = y + z.

3. Final Answer

x=y+zx = y+z
