You need to use various rules about parallel lines for that one. In particular, the X-rule and the Z-rule. You can use them to show that 4x and 2z both equal 80°, and from there it should be simple.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

as the two lines are intersecting, the opposite angles are equal
so 4x = 80,x = 20
then, angles add together to 360
so 360 - 80*2 = 2y * 2
200 = 4y
y = 50
then as those two arrowed lines are perpendicular, and the other line intersects both, the set of angles are exactly the same, so 2z = 80, z = 40

thank you all so very much i was doing it this way :
i tryed to do that.
i said that the striaght line has to 180 degrees.
so i put 180 = 4x or 2y or 2z...
but answers came out totally different from yours

Actually you could have done it using 180 also to get y, you were on the right track:
180 = 80 + 2y
100 = 2y
y = 50

that was super close! i wouldn't have done it that way--are there other preferred methods of doing this?

yeah i could of done it this way...duhhhhhhh thanks
