Question

Y is between points J and A. JA=17 and YA=3. What is JY?

Answer 1

17-3=14 is the answer for JY

Answer 2

JY= 14

Explanation:

Y is between points J and A

Y is a point that is inbetween the line with end point J and A

`JA = JY +YA`

Given that : JA=17 and YA=3

Replace the value in the equation and find out JY

`JA = JY +YA`

`17 = JY +3`

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

`17-3 = JY +3-3`

`14= JY`

So JY= 14
