Answer: XY = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the triangle XYZ is shown in the attached photo.

XY=XZ. This means that two sides of the triangle are equal. Two angles are also equal. It means that the triangle XYZ is an isosceles triangle.

Since XY=XZ, then

2a = 5a - 12

Subtracting 2a from both sides of the equation,

2a - 5a = 5a - 12 - 5a

-3a = -12

a = -12/-3

a = 4

Therefore, the length of XY is 2a = 2×4 = 8
