Answer 1

X+y=y+z+12

X=z+12

ie x is 12 years more than z

Answer 2

Answer:

z is 12 years younger than x.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

The total age of x and y is 12 years more than the total age of y and z

⇒ ( The age of x + The age of y ) = (The age of y + The age of z) + 12

⇒  The age of x - The age of z = 12

⇒ The age of x = 12 + The age of z

⇒ The age of z is 12 years less than that of x.

Therefore, z is 12 years younger than x.
