Step 1: We have a line segment XZ, with point Y between X and Z.

Therefore, we have:

XY + YZ = XZ

Replacing with the values given:

7a + 5a = 6a + 24

Like terms:

7a + 5a - 6a = 24

6a = 24

Dividing by 6 at both sides:

6a/6 = 24/6

a = 4

Step 2: Now we can find the length of the line segment, this way:

YZ = 6a + 24

Replacing a by 4

YZ = You can finish the calculation
