Answer:
w = 4
YZ = 24
Explanation:
Since, Y is a point lying between the points X and Z.
Therefore, relationship between the lengths of the segments will be,
length of segment XZ = length of XY + length of YZ
It's given in the question,
XZ = 12w - 8
YZ = 6w
XY = 4w
By substituting these values in the relation,
12w - 8 = 4w + 6w
12w - 8 = 10w
12w = 10w + 8
12w - 10w = 8
2w = 8
w = 4
Since, YZ = 6w
Therefore, YZ = 24
