Point Y is between the points X and Z. If XY = 3x – 4, YZ = 2x + 3, and XZ = 24. What is the numerical length of YZ? Use mathematics
to justify your reasoning.

YZ = 13

Point Y is between the points X and Z => XY + YZ = XZ

=> 3x - 4 + 2x + 3 = 24

<=> 5x - 1 = 24

<=> x = (24 + 1) : 5 = 5

with x = 5 => YZ = 2.5 + 3 = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 15% decrease

a reflection across the x-axis , followed by the by a reflection across the y-axis , and then a scale dilation of 0.5 .
