Answer:
JY= 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Y is between points J and A
Y is a point that is inbetween the line with end point J and A
[tex]JA = JY +YA[/tex]
Given that : JA=17 and YA=3
Replace the value in the equation and find out JY
[tex]JA = JY +YA[/tex]
[tex]17 = JY +3[/tex]
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation
[tex]17-3 = JY +3-3[/tex]
[tex]14= JY[/tex]
So JY= 14
