Question
Given the diagram below, if \( P \) is the circumcenter of \(\triangle LMN\), \( WP = 5x - 17 \), \( PZ = 3x + 5 \), find \( PY \). Round answers to the nearest tenth when needed.

### Diagram Description

- **Triangle \(\triangle LMN\):** A triangle with vertices labeled \( L \), \( M \), and \( N \).
- **Point \( P \):** The circumcenter of \(\triangle LMN\), located inside the triangle.
- **Segments:**
  - \( WP \), \( PZ \), and \( PY \) are drawn from \( P \) to points \( W \), \( Z \), and \( Y \) on sides \( LM \), \( LN \), and \( MN \) respectively.
- **Perpendiculars:** The lines \( LP \), \( MP \), and \( NP \) are perpendicular to sides at points \( W \), \( Z \), and \( Y \).

The task is to solve for \( PY \), using the given expressions for \( WP \) and \( PZ \). 

\[ PY = \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \]
