The tangent to the circumcircle of triangle WXY at X is drawn, and the line through W that is parallel to this tangent intersects $\overline{XY}$ at Z.  If XY = 14 and $WX = 7,$ find YZ.

Let's see who's right: guest 1, or guest 2

 

7/14 = (14 - YZ) / 7

49 = 196 - 14(YZ)

14(YZ) = 147

YZ = 10.5 smiley
