Y is between X and Z, find XY. XZ=26 and XY = 3x+2. How do you get a number answer?
 
What? :confused: I'm guessing what you wrote is an attempt to paraphrase the actual problem text, and I'm further guessing that there must have also been a picture or diagram you were given. Because working with only what's presented here, there's not nearly enough information to even begin to solve this problem.

Please read the Read Before Postinghttps://www.freemathhelp.com/forum/threads/41537-Read-Before-Posting!! thread that's stickied at the top of each sub-forum and comply with the rules contained therein. Particularly, please pay attention to the section headed "Post the complete text of the exercise." Thank you.
 
X (3x+2) Y (26-3x-2) Z

If that's what the intent is, then EASY...
