Question

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

What is JY?

Enter your answer in the box.

​JY​ =

Answer 1

we know that

$JA=JY+YA$

solve for JY

$JY=JA-YA$

in this problem we have

$JA=17\ units\\YA=3\ units\\JY=?$

substitute the values in the formula above

$JY=17-3$

$JY=14\ units$

therefore

the answer is

$JY=14\ units$

Answer 2

Answer:

JY = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  Y is between points J and A.

and JA = 17 and YA = 3.                            

We have to find the length of JY.

Since, Y is between points J and A.

So,  JA = JY + YA

Substitute,  JA = 17 and YA = 3.          

We have,

17 = JY + 3

Solve for JY, we have,

JY = 17 - 3 = 14

Thus, JY = 14
