Question

Suppose that J and K are points on the number line. If = JK 15 and K lies at − 18 , where could J be located? If there is more than one location, separate them with commas.

Answer 1

Answer:

-3, -33

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that J and K are points on the number line.

K is at -18 and JK has a value of 15.

They ask us to find the point where J. finds.

J can take two locations depending on whether we move it to the left or right of the number line.

If J is on the left side of K, then the location would be:

-18 + 15 = - 3

If J is on the right side of K, then the location would be

-18 - 15 = -33

Which means that J is at -3 or -33

-3, -33
