Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

JY= 14

Step-by-step explanation:

JA=17 and YA=3.

Y is between points J and A.

$JA = JY+YA$ because y is between J and A

Plug in the given values JA=17 and YA=3.

$JA = JY+YA$

$17 = JY+3$

Subtract 3 from both sides

$17-3 = JY+3-3$

$14 = JY$

So JY= 14

Answer 2

JY would be 14 because of simple subtraction
