Kyle and Nadim are on the same space on a board game they are playing. Kyle moves back 2 spaces in one turn and moves back 3 more spaces in his second turn. Nadia has remained in the same place. What integer represents Kyle's location relative to nadirs location on the game board?

Answer 1

it would be -5.  assuming that back is negative and forward is positive, Kyle has moved a total of 5 spaces back

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let the distance between Nadim and Kyle be 'x' miles

When Kyle moves back by 2 units then integer represents Kyle's location will be (-2).

Similarly when Kyle moves back 3 units then integer which represents Kyle's location will be (-2) + (-3) = (-5) units.

Therefore, integer will be (-5). When negative sign denotes the motion of Nadim.
