Explanation:

The question is incomplete as what is required of the question is not stated.

However, since the question is only limited to distance, a likely question could be to calculate the distance from Bayville to Colleyville.

Represent the distance from Atlanta to Colleyville with AC

Represent the distance from Atlanta to Bayville with AB

Represent the distance from Bayville to Colleyville with BC

So, we have that:

`AC = 25.5\ miles`

`AB = 10(2)/(3)\ miles`

The relationship between AB, AC and BC is:

`AC = AB + BC`

Make BC the subject of formula:

`BC = AC - AB`

`BC = 25.5 - 10(2)/(3)`

Convert fraction to decimal

`BC = 25.5 - 10.7`

`BC = 14.8`

Hence, the distance from Bayville to Colleyville is 14.8 miles
