X, Y, and Z are collinear and Y is between X and Z. If XY = 3x – 1, YZ = 5, and XZ = 5x – 8,

what is the value of x?

a. 6
b. 4
c. 10
d. 8

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

XY = 3x – 1, YZ = 5, and XZ = 5x – 8,

We know that XY + YZ = XZ, so

3x - 1 + 5 = 5x - 8

3x + 4 = 5x - 8

3x + 12 = 5x

12 = 2x

6 = x
