Question

D Question 5 5. Given A is between Y and Z and YA = 14x, AZ = 10x and YZ = 12x + 48, find AZ
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

If A is in between Y and Z, then;

YA+AZ = YZ

Given.

YA = 14x,

AZ = 10x and

YZ = 12x + 48

Substitute into the formula

14x+10x = 12x+48

Find x;

24x = 12x+48

24x-12x = 48

12x = 48

x = 48/12

x = 4

Get AZ

AZ = 10x

AZ =10(4)

AZ = 40
