Question

Use the number line shown below. What is the location of Z between X and Y such that the length of ZY is 3 times the length of XZ.

-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
X = -5
Y = 4

Answer 1

z is -2

Explanation:

x = -5 y = 4

<----------------------------------------->

-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

Z is between x and y but is 3 times the lenght of x&z

so jumb from -5 to -3 thats one, however jumb from -2 to 0 that is 1, and form 0 to 2 that is 2, and from 2 to 4 that is 3.
