Step1: Identify segment sum rule
By segment addition postulate, $AC = AB + BC$ and $XZ = XY + YZ$.
Step2: Substitute into inequality
Replace $AB + BC$ with $AC$ and $YZ + XY$ with $XZ$ in $AB + BC
eq YZ + XY$, getting $AC
eq XZ$.
Step3: Contradict given congruence
We are given $\overline{AC} \cong \overline{XZ}$, so $AC = XZ$, which contradicts $AC
eq XZ$. Thus our initial assumption is false.
