w = 4 and YZ=24

1) XY = 4w

YZ= 6w

XZ=12w-8

2) Let's draw this to better understand it

So using the Segment Addition Postulate principle, let's write and solve

12w-8 =4w+6w

12w-8=10w

12w-10w -8=10w-10w

2w-8=0

2w-8+8=8

2w=8

w=4

3) The value for YZ =

6w => 6(4) YZ =24

Find the value of w and YZ if Y is between X and Z-example-1
