29 miles
because town y is between town x and town z so you can take the distance between town x and town z and subtract the distance from town y to town z
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1. Regroup terms.

2. Add 1 to both sides.

3. Simplify 3x + 3 + 1 to 3x + 4.

4. Subtrect 3x from both sides.

5. Simplify 4x - 3x to x.

Therefor, the answer is, x = 4.
Given:
<span> x=12, y=8, z=3
4x-yz = 4(12) - (8)(3)
</span>4x-yz = 48 - 24
4x-yz = 24
