\[\boxed{\mathbf{2}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{228}}\]
\[\textbf{а)}\ (x + 155) - 35 = 145\]
\[x + 155 = 145 + 35\]
\[x + 155 = 180\]
\[x = 180 - 155\]
\[x = 25.\]
\[Проверка:\]
\[(25 + 155) - 35 = 145\]
\[180 - 35 = 145\]
\[145 = 145.\]
\[\textbf{б)}\ 168 - (98 + z) = 65\]
\[168 - 98 - z = 65\]
\[70 - z = 65\]
\[z = 70 - 65\]
\[z = 5.\]
\[Проверка:\]
\[168 - (98 + 5) = 65\]
\[168 - 98 - 5 = 65\]
\[70 - 5 = 65\]
\[65 = 65.\]
