Question

Find the value of x and yz if y is between x and z
xy=12, yz=2x, and xz=28

Answer 1

The right answer is x=8 and YZ=16

Explanation:

To resolve this problem, we need to know that

XY+YZ=XZ (this is because of the length XY + the length of YZ= the length of XZ.

replacing the data given before we have:

12+2X=28

12-12+2X=28-12

now we subtract 12 on both sides of the operation:

2X=16

and finally, divide both sides by 2

`(2x)/(2)`=
`(16)/(2)`

X=8

now knowing x, we can replace the value in "YZ=2X"

YZ=2X

Replacing =

YZ=2(8)

YZ=16

SO, X= 8 and YZ=16

Answer 2

You get the value of the whole line then get the half and subtract it then the rest you get is divied by 2 and you get 8

28-12=16
2X=16
X=8
