It's 12 because if you divide 36 by 3 (consecutive) it equals 12

If you have three of them, they go in order: 2, 3, 4 and so on.

<span>If the lowest is X then the next two are x + 1  and x + 2. </span>

<span>Though the question asks you to look for the highest, so I'll call that x, so the other two become "x - 1" and x - 2</span>

<span>So if we add them up to get 36, we get: </span>

<span>x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) = 36 </span>

<span>Solving for x: </span>

<span>3x - 3 = 36 </span>
<span>3x = 39 </span>
<span>x = 13 </span>

Answer:

The length of XY is 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that you have a bisector segment (that divides the segment XY  into two equal parts.

since these parts are equal, they must satisfy:

3 x + 1 = 8 x - 24

so, let's solve for x, grouping terms with x on the right of the equal sign, and numerical terms on the left:

1 + 24 = 8 x - 3 x

25 = 5 x

then x = 25/5 = 5

then,now you can find the length of XY as the addition of both parts:

3 x + 1 + 8 x - 24 = 3 (5) +1 + 8 (5) - 24 = 16 + 16 = 32
