Question

Number four please.Given A is between Y and Z and YA = 14x, AZ=10x and YZ= 12x + 48

Answer 1

Since A is between Y and Z, we can conclude that

`YZ=YA+AZ`

Therefore,

`\Rightarrow41.5=5.5+2x`

Solving for x,

`\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow2x=36 \\ \Rightarrow x=18 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the answer is x=18, option B
