Respuesta :
You get the value of the whole line then get the half and subtract it then the rest you get is divied by 2 and you get 8
28-12=16
2X=16
X=8
28-12=16
2X=16
X=8
Answer:
The right answer is x=8 and YZ=16
Step-by-step explanation:
To resolve this problem, we need to know that
XY+YZ=XZ (this is because of the length XY + the length of YZ= the length of XZ.
replacing the data given before we have:
12+2X=28
12-12+2X=28-12
now we subtract 12 on both sides of the operation:
2X=16
and finally, divide both sides by 2
[tex]\frac{2x}{2}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{16}{2}[/tex]
X=8
now knowing x, we can replace the value in "YZ=2X"
YZ=2X
Replacing =
YZ=2(8)
YZ=16
SO, X= 8 and YZ=16
