Question

Find the value of x and yz of y is between x and z 8. XY = 4x, YZ = 3x, and XZ = 42

Answer 1

• x = 6
• YZ = 18

Explanation:

We assume this is a geometry question in which point Y is between X and Z on the segment XZ. Then the appropriate relation is ...

XY +YZ = XZ

4x +3x = 42

7x = 42

x = 6

3x = 18 = YZ
