Let the distance of Judy from intersection is x and distance of Jackie from intersection is y.

We convert the given information to equations, step by step.

Point 1: When Jackie is 1 mile farther from the intersection than Judy.

This means y is 1 mile more than x.

So,

y = 1 + x

Point 2: The distance between them is 2 miles more than Judy’s distance from the intersection.

Distance between is x+ y.

So, x+y is 2 miles more than y.

x+y = y + 2
⇒
x = 2

From point 1 we have:

y = 1 + x = 1+ 2 = 3

So,

Distance of Judy from intersection is 2 miles and distance of Jackie from intersection is 3 miles.

Can somebody please solve this? It's a coordinate thingy

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Coordinates involve two points. (x,y)

Too find a pair (coordinate), use the x and y lines on the graph and see where the point falls.

For example

Point A is number 1 on the y axis

number -4 on the x axis

So, you would write the coordinate out at 

(-4,1)

The y axis values are the second point, so after you plot all of letters, use the y axis numbers and number them from least to greatest so you can find the mystery word.
