Answer:

x - z = -36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

 x + y                                          y + z

---------- = 32               and         ---------- = 50

     2                                                2

These lead to x + y = 64 and y + z = 100

Subtracting the second equation from the first yields:

 x + y = 64

-(      y + z = 100)

------------------------

   x       - z = -36
