Answer 1

Question:

Solution:

According to the statement of the problem, we get the following scheme:

According to this scheme, we get the following equation:

`YZ\text{ = YA + AZ}`

this is equivalent to:

`12x+48=14x+10x`

Putting Like Terms Together, we get:

`14x+10x-12x=48`

this is equivalent to:

`12x=48`

solving for x, we obtain:

`x=(48)/(12)=4`

So that, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

`4`
