Answer
Consider AB || CD and AD is a transversal:
y° = 115° [Alternate angles]
∠BAD and ∠ABE are co-interior angles.
Since, line GB intersects at point B, therefore ∠ABE = (x° + 30°)
Co-interior angles are supplementary:
∴ ∠BAD + ∠ABE = 180°
⇒ 115° + x° + 30° = 180° [Substituting the value of ∠ABE]
⇒ x° + 145° = 180°
⇒ x° = 180° - 145°
⇒ x° = 35°
Now, consider AB || EF and BE is a transversal:
∠BEF = ∠ABE [Alternate angles]
⇒ ∠BEF = x° + 30° [Substituting the value of ∠ABE]
⇒ ∠BEF = 35° + 30° [Substituting the value of x]
⇒ ∠BEF = 65°
∴ z° = 65°
x° = 35°, y° = 115° and z° = 65°
