Question

A car moves 17 km north from a point A and then moves 14 km
towards south along the same road. If the distance towards north is represented by a positive integer, then how will you represent the distance towards south by which integer will you represent its
final position from A?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

3 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer

North distance represent by positive sign. South distance represent by negative sign.

As A goes to North its \( +17\;km\)

When A goes to South its \( -14\;km\)

Hence, the final position of \( A\) is \( +3\;km\) North of its initial position.
