Answer 1

We know that

• Jerry climbed 25 feet up the mountain.

,

• Jessica climbed 32 and a half feet up the mountain higher than Jerry.

Based on the given information, we can write the following expression

`y=32.5+x`

Where y is Jessica and x is Jerry.

Now, we can find Jessica's climb.

`y=32.5+25=57.5`

Hence, Jessica climbed up 57.5 feet.

The expression is

`y=32.5+25`
